Hillary Clinton has recently been in front of the House Select Committee answering questions on how she dealt with the events in the lead up to and aftermath of the attacks on an American diplomatic compound Benghazi, but the event is also in headlines as a result of the fact that a movie is being made about it.

That movie has been left in the hands of Michael Bay of Transformers fame, so it won't be too surprising to see that, judging by this trailer, he has opted not to try and craft a tense political thriller and instead gone with lots of explosions and gunfire.

Based on the events of the book 13 Hours, written by Mitchel Zuckoff, it aims to tell the story of a small group of six soldiers who fought to defend the compound in the wake of the attack in September, 2012.

The movie, entitled 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, is set for release in January of 2016, and stars John Krasinski of the US Office, alongside other recognisable faces such as James Badge Dale and David Costabile.
