13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (simply credited onscreen as 13 Hours) is a 2016 American war film directed and co-produced by Michael Bay and written by Chuck Hogan, based on Mitchell Zuckoff’s 2014 book 13 Hours. It recounts the true life events of six members of a security team who fought to defend the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, after waves of terrorist attacks on September 11, 2012.
On the evening of the eleventh anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a group of Islamic militants attacked the American diplomatic compound and the nearby CIA “Annex” building in Benghazi, Libya. A small team of CIA security contractors—military veterans who served with the Navy SEALS, Marine Force Recon and Army Special Forces—undertake a desperate defense of the American Ambassador and his staff within the diplomatic compound.
