13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

Review by Dylan Rosnick

The short:

A true story about six US ex-military contractors and their fight in Benghazi when a secret United States CIA base and a United States diplomatic compound was attacked.

The Long:

Director Michael Bay portrays an action pact film starred by John Krasinski. The focus is on the attack of a U.S. diplomatic compound. The six ex-military contractors are assigned to the protection of the U.S. ambassador and train his security to protect the compound. The attack of this compound was intense and the attackers overran its security eventually burning the compound to the ground and killing the ambassador. The ex-military contractors fall back to a secret CIA base in Benghazi where they gear up for the imminent attack of the base. The CIA base held its ground for 13 hours until backup came and extracted the civilian, military and contracted officials held up in the CIA base.
