As Jack Silva (John Krasinski) steps off the plane in Benghazi, he is greeted by his reliable colleague, Tyrone “Rone” Woods (James Badge Dale). This encounter, seemingly routine, rapidly escalates into a tense fight for survival. Their vehicle is halted by a group of militants demanding an impromptu inspection. With remarkable composure, Rone alerts their Chief (David Costabile) for assistance, only to be met with a firm refusal to intervene. In a show of bravado, Rone warns the militants that their actions are being watched by a drone, and not only are they at risk but their families as well. Eventually, the confrontation ends, and they are allowed to depart.
