I haven’t seen the Hollywood? movie but I did see the Mayday/Air Crash Investigation version. I feel sorry for those guys, they did everything that they humanly could to try save the aircraft and occupants. Don’t ever believe what you see in Hollywood movies even if they are based on a real situation.

BTW I don’t think that the spoilers had anything to do with the situation, it was a frozen elevator jackscrew which eventually failed altogether. The jackscrew froze because the correct preventive maintenance had not been done.
