Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Traditional
Primary
The film explicitly frames the Benghazi attack as a consequence of government failure and champions individual military heroism as the only effective response, aligning with a core conservative critique of bureaucracy and a valorization of military strength.
The movie features a traditional cast that accurately reflects the real-life individuals involved in the Benghazi incident. Its narrative focuses on the heroic actions of these individuals, portraying traditional identities in a positive light without incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film depicts real historical figures from the Benghazi attack. Tyrone S. Woods, a Black security contractor who was a central figure in the events, is portrayed by a White actor in the movie.
The film depicts Islamic extremist groups as the primary antagonists, portraying them as violent, cruel, and driven by a radical interpretation of their faith. While some individual Libyans are shown as helpful, the narrative frames the religiously motivated attackers as a destructive force without a substantial counterbalancing positive portrayal of the faith itself.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely focused on the historical military event and the actions of the security team involved, without addressing queer identity in any capacity.
The film '13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses exclusively on the 2012 Benghazi attack and the security personnel involved, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The film primarily depicts a male security team and male combatants. No female characters are shown engaging in or winning direct physical combat against one or more male opponents. Female characters present are not portrayed in combat roles.
The film is based on real historical events and figures. All major characters, whose genders are historically documented, are portrayed on screen by actors of the same gender as their real-life counterparts. No instances of a character established as one gender being portrayed as another were found.
