13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi is a gripping and intense thriller that recounts the true story of the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.

Led by Jack Silva (John Krasinski), a former Navy SEAL, and Tyrone "Rone" Woods (James Badge Dale), a retired Marine, the GRS team finds themselves outnumbered and outgunned against a determined enemy.
