Detailed Bias Analysis

Traditional
Primary
The film explicitly frames the Benghazi attack as a failure of government bureaucracy and leadership, contrasting it with the individual heroism and self-sacrifice of private military contractors, a narrative heavily promoted by the political right.
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 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.
