We could say that the message that the film transmits to us is the bravery of the 6
soldiers who defend their secret CIA base at all costs, risking their own lives. You
can see the armed conflict that was experienced in real life between The Muslims
and the Americans, then the soldiers, despite having their families far away, Jack
was going to have another baby and he didn't know if he could return to his wife
and children, but they fought to protect their people. The leader was Ron,
determined to protect. to the ambassador and then to his base when they were
attacked despite the negligence of their boss who did not let him operate calmly
but opposed everything, these warriors show the other side of the history of war
since it is seen that they are willing to give their lives to defend their compatriots
and this is the face of the war that occurred where the twin towers were destroyed,
the fight, the determination, the sacrifice are just some of the characteristics of the
heroes that appear on the screen.
The main ideas of this film are: How these six men showed their courage by doing
what was right. Despite being detained by high command in the US and not
having authorization to support the attack, since it would also unmask the location
of the CIA, they tried to defend the little American space in Libya. The tension
experienced after each minute of attack is another main idea since it exposes the
scenario of a real war and teaches us how we must fight to defend our ideals. Also
the oppression caused by Islamists can be considered another main idea because
they are groups that never stop causing a stir.
In my opinion this movie comes to feel real and leaves us with that strong feeling
of helplessness caused by not being able to stop this type of war where so many
innocent people die and in real life that is what it is like after serving your country,
after being highly trained. and trained American soldiers, they are hired by
international security agencies, placed again in danger zones to protect and care
for high security and secret locations of the United States government in different
countries but these soldiers are not being recognized as they deserve. But they are
even forced to serve their country. In this film we realize what the life of soldiers is
like and all the risks to which they are exposed.
