Question: I have a few questions about the different groups in the film. 1. I looked up 17th Feb, or February 17th Martyr's Brigade, on Wikipedia, and I noticed that an ally that was listed on Wiki was Ansar-Al-Sharia. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Ansar-Al-Sharia the current ISIS/ISIL that we're fighting today? 2. Was the group the soldiers were fighting in the film ISIS? 3. Who was the group of soldiers that saved them all at the end of the film?
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)
1 question
Directed by: Michael Bay
Starring: John Krasinski, James Badge Dale, Pablo Schreiber, David Denman
Factual error: The 2 C-class Mercedes Benz' they have in the CIA compound are the newer body styles that came out the year they were filming the movie. The Benghazi attack happened in 2012, the C-class had a different body style then.

Answer: Ansar-Al-Sharia isn't ISIS; it was disbanded in 2017. The group the soldiers were fighting weren't ISIS, they were February 17th Martyr's Brigade. The soldiers at the end were Tripoli GRS reinforcements.
