The facts are (mostly) correctly reported, but variable and undue emphasis is given to some in order to dramatise the events.
The actors and the dialogue are appalling. Pilot behaviour and flight deck simulation is dreadful. And when it comes to showing the "controller" they always talk about the tower (which it rarely is) and show someone sitting in front of a bleeping oscilliscope-like display with a single bright spot on it - usually the only person in the room - laughable - dreadful - terrible.
Peel off the drama garbage and what remains is usually true, though.
