Looking for long forced mate

In the movie his opponent's name was Johnathan Poe, although in real life his name was Jeff Sarwer. Also, the position depicted in the movie never arose in a real game. Furthermore, I believe the position is flawed. Poe could have gotten a draw. The win for Josh relied on Poe to make a blunder.

I believe I've heard Pandolfini say that even they only later found a drawing line for "Poe" after thinking they had constructed a great win...oops!

In real life, at least as depicted in the book, Josh pulled out a miraculous draw after thinking he was lost against Sarwer in the final round of the nationals, leaving them both with 6.5/7 scores. Josh won on tiebreaks.
