Benghazi, Libya has become out-of-control, with Islamic extremists terrorising the state with multiple bomb attacks. As such, the CIA operatives that have been stationed there to covertly observe the terrorism are in more danger than ever before, and so an elite team of former military weapons and manouvre experts are brought on for ultimate security. Jack Da Silva is the team's newest recruit, having previously trained SEALs at the Coronado Navy base. Led by the sharp and formidable Rone, the six-man group face their first major attack when Islamic radicalists storm the US embassy. With the death of an American Ambassador occurring not long after, it's clear that these men have something close to a suicide mission to undertake. But they're willing to risk everything to save the rest of their country's civilians.
'13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi' is based on the 2013 book '13 Hours' by Mitchell Zuckoff, exploring the true story of the 2012 Benghazi attack which took place on the anniversary of 9/11. The film has been directed by Michael Bay ('Transformers', 'Bad Boys II', 'Pearl Harbor') and written by Chuck Hogan ('The Strain'), and is scheduled to be released in UK cinemas on January 15th 2016.
