That movie had some mistakes and unfortunately there are some Muslims who get all of their seerah knowledge from it. The Prophet s.a.a.w. pardoned most of those within Mecca after the conquest except for those who crimes against Allah and His Messenger were too grievous to forgive. In the book, "The Noble Prophet" by Dr. Muhammad as Sallabee Vol. 3 pg. 1710-11 it reads:

"In dealings among human beings, mercy has its limits; if it goes beyond those limits, it can no longer be described as mercy but as weakness, which is why the Prophet s.a.a.w. did not forgive everyone. So yes, there were some exceptions to the universal pardon, somewhere between thirteen and nineteen people. The Prophet s.a.a.w. ordered that they be killed upon sight, even if they were to be found clinging to the covering of the Ka'bah. Their crimes against Allah and His Messenger were too great, and it was feared that in the aftermath of the conquest, they would sow dissension among the people in an attempt to undermine security in the region. (1)

By gathering information from various reports, Al-Hafiz ibn Hajr Asqalani (may Allah have mercy upon him) put together their names in a single list that consisted of the following:
Abdul-Uzzah ibn Khatel and two of his female singers who would attempt to insult the Prophet s.a.a.w. in their songs.
Abdullah ibn Sa'd ibn Abee Sarh
Irkimah ibn Abee Jahl
Al-Huwairath ibn Naqeed
Maqees ibn Subaabah
Habbar ibn Al-Aswad
Saarah a freed slave of the Banu Abdul Muttalib tribe.

Abu Ma'shar added Al-Haarith ibn Tulaatil al-Khuzaa'ee to that list, and Al-Hakim added thriee others to it: Ka'ab ibn Zuhair, Wahshee ibn Harb, and Hind bint Utbah. (2)

Of these, some were actually killed, but others among them embraced Islam and repented for their past misdeeds; the people of the latter group were forgiven by the Prophet s.a.a.w. and afterwards lived fruitful lives as good Muslims. (3)

(1) Refer to As-Seerah An-Nabawiyyah by Abu Shohbah (2/451) and to Tammulaat fis-Seerah (pg.262)
(2) Fathul Bari, the explanation of the hadith number (4280)
(3) Refer to As-Seerah an Nabawiyyah by Abu Shohbah (2/451)
