They also find out that Stevens was found behind the compound, but was pronounced dead at the hospital from smoke inhalation. That night, a group of Islamist militants from Ansar al-Sharia assault the compound. Billed as being based on a true story, the film follows six members of a security team who fight to defend the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya after waves of terrorist attacks on September 11, 2012. As the remainder of the team wait at the airstrip with the bodies of Stevens, Smith, Woods and Doherty, they reflect on the events that happened and how they will most likely receive no recognition for defending the Annex as they were off the books. Christopher Stevens Letscher arrives in Benghazi to maintain diplomatic connections amidst the political and social chaos. .
Arriving at the Annex, Da Silva is introduced to the rest of the team and the chief Costabile , who constantly gives the team strict reminders to never engage the citizens to avoid conflict with local militants in the area. Filming began on April 27, 2015 in Malta. The film stars James Badge Dale, John Krasinski, Max Martini, Toby Stephens, Pablo Schreiber, David Denman, Dominic Fumusa, Freddie Stroma, and Alexia Barlier. Wickland is able to escape but loses both Stevens and Smith. Unable to breach the safe room, the attackers set the building on fire hoping to burn the men out. The United States, however, still has a diplomatic compound not an official embassy open in the city.
On the morning and the eleventh anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Stevens notices suspicious men taking pictures of the compound and notifies his security detail. The team from the compound also follow suit, but after Wickland goes the wrong direction, they are followed back to the Annex. In 2012, Benghazi, Libya is named one of the most dangerous places in the world, and countries have pulled their embassies out of the country in fear of an attack by militants. Silva and Woods go into the building to try to find Stevens and Smith, but are only able to find Smith who has died from smoke inhalation. The team retreat back to the Annex.
The film was released on January 15, 2016, by Paramount Pictures. . . . . .
