There are a number of loose ends in the hijackings: Did at least one hijacker have a gun? Did the flight 93 hijackers have a small bomb, on the scale of the shoe-bomb? Etc.

Based on phone calls from the plane it is clear the passengers fought the hijackers. But it also looks like the outcome was "simplified" for public consumption.

Exactly - I don't doubt they resisted, but they never made it to the cockpit. Too cinematic. It never rang true to me.
