1962’s epic historical drama Lawrence of Arabia is often considered a landmark movie in the history of cinema. The movie is based on the life of acclaimed archeologist, writer, and army officer T.E. Lawrence.

It won seven Oscars at the 35th Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The movie has set the standard for filmmaking when it comes to creating historical epics but over the years it has been criticized for its many historical inaccuracies, particularly about the life of T.E. Lawrence.

The truth about Lawrence’s life is actually quite tragic. Movies will embellish the truth for entertainment purposes but here are the real-life details about Lawrence of Arabia.
