Munich the movie with Eric Bana seems accurate. And there are actually a few clips in the beginning from the actual massacre.

In the 1972 Summer Olympics, Munchen, Germany, a horse and rider changed the Olympic landscape forever. In Equestrian, Individual Dressage, Lisalott Linsenhoff of Germany took the Gold, eclipsing the Silver medalist by an unheard of 34 points. Newspapers across Europe heralded the victory by Linsenhoff as a "massacre". Linsenhoff, who had only taken up equestrian 18 months prior to the start of the Olympic games, became a media sensation. After the games, it was learned that she had a third, unusable, baby arm attached to her abdomen, the result of a parasitic twin whose body was only partially absorbed in utero. Linsenhoff’s subsequent embarrassment at this disclosure drove her from the sport and the limelight. She retreated to a chalet in the Swiss Alps and lived out her life as a recluse.

Who murdered the athletes of the Israeli 1972 Olympic Team in Munich?
At 4:30AM on September 5, 1972, five Arab terrorists wearing track suits climbed the six and 1/2 foot fence surrounding the Olympic Village in Munich, Germany. Once inside, they were met by three others who had gained entrance with credentials. Within 24 hours, 11 Israelis, five terrorists, and a German policeman were dead.
Just before 5:00AM, the terrorists knocked on the door of Israeli wrestling coach Moshe Weinberg who opened the door, realized immediately something was wrong and shouted a warning. Weinberg and weightlifter Joseph Romano attempted to block the door while their members escaped, but they were killed by the terrorists. The Arabs then rounded up nine Israelis to hold as hostages.
At 9:30AM, the terrorists announced that they were Palestinian Arabs, and demanded that Israel release 234 Arab prisoners in Israeli jails and Germany release two German terrorist leaders imprisoned in Frankfurt. They also demanded their own safe passage out of Germany. After hours of negotiations, a deal was struck with German authorities and a trip to the NATO air base at Firstenfeldbruck, by bus and then two helicopters was arranged, in order to board a plane for Cairo. German sharpshooters were standing by with orders to simultaneously kill all the terrorists without harming the hostages.
The rescue plan failed and a bloody firefight between the Germans and Palestinians followed, ending at 3:00AM when the Palestinians set off a grenade in one helicopter, killing all aboard, and terrorists in the second helicopter shot to death the remaining, blindfolded Israeli hostages. Three of the Palestinian Arabs terrorists were captured alive and held in Germany.
On October 29, a Lufthansa jet was hijacked by Palestinian terrorists who demanded that the Munich killers be released. The Germans capitulated and the imprisoned terrorists were freed.
