The trailer reveals the plot with glimpses of the action sequences present in the film.
The movie is based on Mitchell Zuckoff’s book Thirteen Hours: A Firsthand Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi, and focuses on the handful of security team members who defended the U.S. diplomatic compound from Islamist militants on September 11, 2012, the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The film stars James Badge Dale, John Krasinski, Toby Stephens, Pablo Schreiber, Max Martini, David Denman, Dominic Fumusa, and Freddie Stroma.
The film, which is expected to be released on 15 January 2016, left some $50 million in the Maltese economy. Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale.

Chuck Hogan wrote the script and Erwin Stoff produces through 3 Arts Entertainment’s production shingle. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and one of the compound’s workers died in the initial assault and two contractors were killed during another attack on a nearby Central Intelligence Agency facility.
