Paramount has released the first trailer for Michael Bay's military movie "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi". The movie is based on a true story, recounting the attack by terrorists on the U.S. Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA Annex in Benghazi on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 tragedy.
The trailer opens with a tagline which teases the highlighted mission of the movie, "To protect CIA outpost and personnel in unstable regions, the agency employs elite ex-military operators in 2012. The threat level in Benghazi, Libya was deemed 'critical.' "
A team of six American security operators attempts to repel the attackers and save as many lives as they can. "When everything went wrong, six men had the courage to do what was right," the trailer notes.
The two-minute video is full of high-octane actions as the team performs extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, averting tragedy on a much larger scale. "We have 36 American's lives to save," someone says in voiceover.
The film is based on Mitchell Zuckoff's book entitled "Thirteen Hours: A Firsthand Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi". John Krasinski, Dominic Fumusa, James Badge Dale, Max Martini and Pablo Schreiber play the members of the aforementioned team. Having a script written by Chuck Hogan, the movie is slated for a release in U.S. theaters on January 15, 2016.
