A blow-by-blow, "you are there" account of the events that took place on September 11, 2012, in Benghazi, Libya, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi follows the six-man team of former special forces ops-turned-security contractors as they defend a pair of American installations there from a series of overnight attacks by armed militants. The six-man security team includes Jack (a bulked up John Krasinski, whose character's real name has not been revealed), Rone (James Badge Dale), Oz (Max Martini), Tanto (Pablo Schreiber), Tig (Dominic Fumusa), and Boon (David Denman).
All are former military and combat veterans, several have known or served with each other before. Later in the story we meet Glen Doherty (Toby Stephens), another former military friend who became a Global Response Staff (GRS) officer. While the six men are under fire in Benghazi, Doherty is trying to launch a rescue/support mission from Tripoli but also finds himself running into bureaucratic resistance and delays both there and stateside.
Director Michael Bay's movie relied on the surviving members of the team for their insights, and they've subsequently said while promoting the film that it's a faithful, detailed account of the lead-up to the attacks, the battles themselves, and, briefly, their aftermath. The movie begins with Jack's arrival in Benghazi as the newest member of the security detail working at the (ultimately not very secret) secret CIA outpost.
Usually with Michael Bay movies, the breathless pacing and non-stop action make them emotionally numbing, a merely relentless sensory onslaught. But this by-the-throat approach works for 13 Hours, as the brief moments of down time in-between shoot 'em-up set-pieces is at least spent with characters this time instead of talking cutouts passed off as...
