Most people only identify Michael Bay as a blockbuster Hollywood director who makes “popcorn” films – big budget, big stars, lots of special effects, and “check your brain at the door” scripts. The new movie 13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI may change that. It’s based on the book by author Mitchell Zuckoff, which chronicles the American bases in Libya that were attacked in 2012. This is also the continuing subject of controversy in polotical circles, as four Americans died in the process. The cast includes John Krasinski, Dominic Fumusa, James Badge Dale, Max Martini and Pablo Schreiber. Take a look at the newest International trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
13 HOURS presents, for the first time ever, the true account of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya. A team of six American security operators fought to repel the attackers and protect the Americans stationed there. Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale. This is their personal account, never before told, of what happened during the thirteen hours of that now-infamous attack. 13 HOURS sets the record straight on what happened during a night that has been shrouded in mystery and controversy. Written by New York Times bestselling author Mitchell Zuckoff, this riveting book takes readers into the action-packed story of heroes who laid their lives on the line for one another, for their countrymen, and for their country. 13 HOURS is a stunning, eye-opening, and intense book–but most importantly, it is the truth. The story of what happened to these men–and what they accomplished–is unforgettable.
