The movie, “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,” directed by Michael Bay and based on the book 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi by Mitchell Zuckoff, gives the first-hand account of five surviving special operators who fought off terrorists as they attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept.11, 2012. This film is an apolitical depiction of the horrific 13 hours of attacks and the unimaginable bravery of a handful of special operators hired to provide security at the CIA Annex. When US Ambassador Chris Stevens’ residence is attacked by terrorists, the special operators defy orders to stand down to try and rescue the Ambassador and his people at an outpost a mile away. As the outpost is lost, the fight moves to the CIA Annex where the special operators fought the entire night and into the morning as waves of armed insurgents attacked. The settings and action scenes were accurate and life-like. The roles were well-cast and the acting was superb. This movie is important to all Americans, especially to the high schoolers of Eaton, Colorado, because it gives a glimpse of what is going on today in unstable countries where terrorism is raging. This movie must also be seen to honor the brave men who lost and risked their lives for their fellow Americans and Libya.
