The LotR account is about as compressed as you can get and does give the bare facts -- and is not contradicted by the film.
In UT, Isildur sends the squire(s) away early. When he leaves, it's only after the battle is truly lost. Anyway, in that account, he's swept back downriver towards the Gladden Fields he had so lately escaped, but he actually gains the western shore -- after having lost the Ring near its banks -- and is shot by orcs patrolling the far side.
