13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
The best part about the US embassy is that you don't have to remove your footwear when you invade it.
Mind you, the Islamic militants in this true story don't seem to care either way.
On the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, contract soldiers (John Krasinski, James Badge Dale, Dominic Fumusa) working in Benghazi must protect the US Ambassador to Libya (Matt Letscher) and the embassy from hoards of angry rebels.
But as their defenses fall and their supplies deplete, these former Navy SEALs must prepare for the inevitable.
The dramatic retelling of the 2012 events that inspired the bestselling book on the anniversary attacks, 13 Hours is a surprisingly humane story from the usually bombastic Michael Bay. Not to say, that it isn't draped in patriotic pap.
However, honoring the anniversary of the 11th anniversary 9/11 attacks on the anniversary of the actual 9/11 attacks could get confusing.
