I believe this is what happened with Charles Dance's Admiral character in Imitation Game? There he was quite antagonistic against Turing whereas in real life he was quite supportive and a mathematician in his own right. Made him a jerk just for tension :(

As we're on the subject I just remembered U-571. Pissed off a lot of British people with that film. I've not seen it so don't know if it has the "based on a true story" aspect.
