To fictionalize something is to take a real event — a crime, a war, a family history — and make a film or a story from it, changing some details and adding people who were never there. The bones of it happened; the dressing is invented. Film people and book reviews use this word. British spelling is often fictionalise. Though actually, writers argue about how far you may go before “based on a true story” is just a story. The word does not settle that fight; it only names the move from real life into made-up telling. It is a bit formal. Everyday English might just say they made a movie about it, or they turned it into a novel. It does not mean “to lie to someone”. It means to build a story on top of something that really happened.
