13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI

This is another action packed movie with plenty of explosions, gun battles and car chases truly Michael Bay fashion. Based on the attack that happened on September 11, 2012, where approximately 150 armed Islamic militants attacked a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, resulting in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, a U.S. Foreign Service officer and two CIA contractors. It is based on the book, "13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi," written by Mitchell Zuckoff and a team of military contractors who responded to the assault on the compound.
The film focuses on CIA contractors (hired guns, the "secret soldiers") headed by Jack Silva (John Krasinski) one of two lead protagonists, who's in Libya to support his wife and kids back home. The other is Tyrone Woods, played by James Badge Dale. Jack is portrayed as a skilled soldier and family man newly arrived to Libya, where crashed fighter planes and burned out tanks are fashionable lawn ornaments, answering the call for a short-term and high-paying security gig. Tyrone is shown to be the grizzled-and-chiseled Benghazi expert and ultra-prepared leader who can throw down or tough-talk to get his way in any situation.
Jack joins Tyrone's team consisting of fellow ex-military specialists hired as CIA Contractors, Kris 'Tanto' Paronto (Pablo Schreiber), Dave 'Boon' Benton (David Denman), John 'Tig' Tiegen (Dominic Fumusa), Mark 'Oz' Geist (Max Martini).
When the temporary diplomatic outpost housing of the U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens is under attack. The ambassador's limited security detail is quickly overrun forcing Stevens to take shelter in the compound's safe room. The insurgents set fire to the facility with Stevens trapped inside while Tyrone and his team look on helplessly from the CIA Annex only a mile away. The contractors are ordered to "stand down" rather than provide assistance to the beleaguered consulate. Congressional investigators concluded that no "stand down" order was ever issued, but the contractors say otherwise.
The CIA fears that using Tyrone's team exposes their supposedly off-the-books facility to the same potential attackers. The closest official help, in the form of Glen Doherty's Global Response Staff, is hours away in Tripoli. Tyrone and his boys push aside orders and move to intervene. The film then follows their arduous rescue and defense efforts against insurmountable odds to protect and evacuate U.S. and CIA personnel from the city.
Starring John Krasinski, Pablo Schreiber, Max Martini and James Badge Dale. Directed by Michael Bay.
