Eyes wide shut the movie is real story?

Eyes Wide Shut is not based on a true story, but rather on the 1926 novella Dream Story by Arthur Schnitzler. The film follows Dr. William Harford (Tom Cruise) as he navigates a world of sexual temptation and moral ambiguity in New York City. While some elements of the film are based on real-world events, such as the existence of secret societies, the overall plot is a work of fiction.
