Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to producer Erwin Stoff, the diplomatic compound and CIA annex were built using the actual plans. "What we did, is we had actual plans and satellite images of the original structures, and we had the guys. So we built these, we replicated both the annex and the diplomatic mission exactly to the inch."
- GoofsLibya's official language is Arabic. When Jack Silva arrives at the airport, a terminal announcement is in Persian. When an embassy staff try to open Safe Haven during the attack, the attackers are speaking Persian.
- Quotes
Tyrone 'Rone' Woods: Enlighten Me, Boon.
Dave 'Boon' Benton: "All the gods, all the heavens, all the hells are within you."
- Alternate versionsInternational release and American releases have an alternate shot when the characters are boarding the plane at the end of the movie. In one version 'Bob' the CIA base commander simply says 'Sorry' to Jack, and in others he says 'I'm proud to know Americans like you'.

Featured review
Intense movie, that raises almost as many questions as the answers that it provides.
I found this movie to be very intense and riveting. The audience seemed to have a need to make an unusual number of trips to the snack bar and rest room and I found myself becoming frustrated by the number of interruptions. The movie is not for the faint of heart, as there are a number of scenes with graphic depiction of injuries. Regardless of your political affiliation, if you have any thoughts about what happened at Benghazi, you need to see this movie. Michael Bay does a great job of portraying what happened. Additionally, with the exception of one individual who s portrayed as not wanting to take action, he does not take the obvious opportunity to lay blame at any single individual in the US government. He clearly portrays a small group of men as heroes. Without their courage and willingness to fight against what appears to be an overwhelming force many more lives would have been lost. I do not often see movies twice, but this movie is likely to be an exception... In closing, if Michael Bay is 90% accurate in his depiction of what happened, our government (the US government), owes a huge debt of gratitude and an apology for their lack of action to 6 very brave men.
