When it was all over, four americans had lost their lives. But if not for the men who say they defied direct orders to stand down and not help, even more could have died. Here is an exclusive clip new from the just released film. How many . [ gunfire ] hello, hello its going to be a peaceful night. We need more information than that. How many . 20 to 40 attackers, separated in several areas. Listen up. None of you have to go. We are the only hope they have. Two vehicles ready, lets go, move, move. Tonight, you will hear directly from three of the reallife american heroes who say this story is not about politics, its about the truth of what really happened on the ground in benghazi, libya. Its about a band of brothers willing to die so that their fellow americans might live. Our exclusive sitdown with them is moments away. But we begin with Trace Gallagher reporting from los angeles on what those seeing the film now are saying about this extraordinary picture. The film is based on the best selling book 13 hours, the inside account on what really happened in benghazi, cowritten by security contractors, who on 9 11, 2012, were in when gaza at the cia station called the annex. In the Controversial Book and movie, the team says they were told to stand down three different times on the night of the attack. An order that they blame for the death of all four americans killed that night. I cant do that. Call it the power of the motion picture, but experts say in the next few weeks the public will learn more about benghazi from this movie than they have in the past three plus years of congressional hearings. And news reporting. Anything from the movie surprise you, did you learn any new details watch thing . I had no idea that so much took place at the annex, and what they had to fend off there was just incredible. It didnt look like where they were was very safe, and they should have had more support. My stomach is still churning to see what our men and women go through it. As you watched the movie, did you think there could be political ramifications, that this could affect Hillary Clinton . Absolutely, because she was the secretary of state. She should have been on the phone. There should have been some communication with them. I think theres a lot of answering to be done. This coming back after it has been pretty much swept under the rug. Its going to have a major impact on the election and on her future as a politician. It certainly would impact my vote going forward. Its key to point out the teams station chief tells the Washington Post the standown order is fiction and the film is wrong. The cia calls the movie shameful and a distortion to have events and people who served in benghazi that night. Megyn . Before we get to our exclusive interview, we want to give you a little more background on the men youre about to meet on what motivated them and then why they decided to tell their story. Take a look at this. My name is christian, and my call sign is tonto. I was with the 75th ranger regiment. Im john, a former marine. Did four years with the 3rd battalion, 7th marines. Im mark geist, my call sign is oz. I was in the marine corps. Everybody, this is jack. We got the db, former marine, jack, and roan, he was a s. E. A. L. It was a good crew. 13 hours just tells the minute by minute story of what happened that night, of what we all went through. We decided the story being told out there wasnt what happened that night. So we felt compelled that the story gets out there the right way. Its not about the politics. Its the story of what happened. Grs stands for Global Response services. We are the security element for the Central Intelligence agency, and we just profeed protection if austere environments. Were coming in. Is chris still inside . Get down [ explosion ] all of us were former military. Specialops guys from the marines, youre working with some of the top guys in their respective services. 13 hours is how long we were in the fight that night. The state guys, we just heard them on the radio say if you dont get over here were going to die. We just said, weve got to go now. None of you have to go. But we are the only hope they have. Americans help americans overseas, especially in areas where there wasnt any military support. We had to go, no matter what. Damn the consequences. Here we go. Our director is michael bay. Hes been very respectful to us, and hes taking it seriously and hes got us involved. Michael has that vision of what he wants and hes doing it in a way so its as accurate as possible. My teammates did so many amazing things, and its the story of the battle, the story of a lot of sacrifice that went on. It showed that theres still guys out there willing to sacrifice their lives for others, to put others before themselves. Very good. Got it. Beautiful. Joining me now, three of the heroes who saved dozens of americans that night. Mark geist, known as oz. Chris paronto who does by tonto, and john tigen, also known as tig. How true to life is the film . Example of when i walked out of the theater after i saw it, i felt drained. Like it was a big hole inside me. It was because i really virtually went back to benghazi when i was watching it. And i missed it so much that i just it was a part of me that i relived on the screen and i realized i had been missing it. Missed it . I do. The film depicts absolute hell. Its not. Its amazing being with your brothers and fighting being there and being with them and having a faith that youre going to defeat all the obstacles. Yeah, i relive it. I usually dont get like this. It brought home a lot of the truths that we went through and a lot of the like i said, the brotherhood is the best wayky describe it. I miss it immensely. I sacrificed a lot to get to this point, and one of it is the job i really love. I would go back in a heart beat. The movie and the book takes the viewer and the reader through the story of benghazi. It starts off at the diplomatic outpost, the socalled consulate where ambassador Chris Stephens was, and the attack on that compound that was not caused by a video, where rpgs and mortars are set off and the ambassador dies due to smoke inhalation along with sean smith. These guys in the meantime are up at the cia annex, chomping at the bit saying send us, send us. You can hear the distress calls. You can hear the radio calls of the state Department Personnel saying, were going to die, were going to die, were going to die. The cia station chief where you were at the time told you repeatedly, according to the movie, stand down. We saw that many the trailer. Used the words stand down. Is that how you remember it . Yeah. It was the chief of the base and our team leader standing on the front porch when he told me to stand down. Ultimately the movie depicts you guys saying, were going. And tyrone woods specifically saying and its quoted in the movie saying to all of you, we its up to you. But were the only hope they have. Stand down if you do not get here soon, we are all going to die. None of you have to go. But we are the only help they have. Did that really happen . That did happen, and the radio call from Alec Henderson coming across saying if you dont get here, were all going to bleeping die, thats word for word. Thats what spurned us. I know theres been conflicts about being the calls at 9 42. I still remember on my watch it being 9 32 when we were first called. But after 30 minutes, he says if you dont get here, were all going to die. We bucked orders and left. You all have testified to this and the trailer we just watched captures it, too, with the writing on the screen. There was no support. If theres one theme that emerges, that is it, that they were left alone. There was no one to back you up. Throughout the film, you see heroes assuming, understanding based on their experience that the American Military will be there to back them up and support them. And help never came. I mean i mean, for us, for the military to come and support us, the agencies, we wouldnt have expected it. But the fact that they had a u. S. Ambassador that had been missing for about five hours before officially he was considered dead and they didnt send anything or attempt to push anything that way is pretty crazy. I would never expect them to just leave the ambassador out there. What did you expect would come . What did you think would show up . Who or what . Up next, the answer to that question, and whether or not the men believe that those who died would be alive today if they had gotten the support they needed. Well be back with that and more of the story behind those 13 hours in just moments. Move over for inspection. Sorry, sir, cant do that. Whats up . You see the drone . No . Because the drone sees you. It sees your face. We know who you are. Anything happens to us, your home, your family, gone. Give the order to let us go. Are you ready to die for your country . Im ready to go right here, right now. May raise your blood. Thats why theres coricidin® hbp. It relieves cold symptoms without raising blood pressure. So look for powerful Cold Medicine with a heart. Coricidin® hbp. See any friendlies . Let them come. Let them come. Report. Really very similar qualities as mark. He has tremendous strength and is just a real guys guy. Lock this base down. You, you, lets go. Come on. Marks been such a tremendous asset to me as an actor and given me so much information. Specifics in terms of what happened on the night of the attack, but also just emotionally what he was going through. I start coming back after shooting. Your adrenaline is running, you dont feel the pain, because youre just worried about making sure you take care of the business youve got to take care of. Were going to unleash hay on these guys. Theres an emotional connection you get having looked in the guys eyes and heard the accounts from them. So you take on the huge responsibility to make sure the story is done right. Im on the roof. Dont leave me. We have 36 american lives to save. That was a primetime exclusive clip from behind the movie 13 hours, the secret soldiers of benghazi. But as they discussed why they risked life and limb, they also discussed the assistance they expected from their government that never came. And why they think four americans paid the ultimate price. What did you think would come . What did you think would show up . Who or what . The biggest thing we need is air support. Just a flyover. How hard would that have not hard. People have seen the movie and read the book know that it wasnt difficult. All that was sent was an unmanned drone. So we had eyes on the situation and our president had been briefed on it at least six hours prior to the annex coming under severe attack and all we sent was an unmanned drone. And it wasnt helpful at all. It made good movie footage. When you see you know, for us its a new story and thanks to Paramount Pictures its been made into a dramatic, compelling, White Knuckle experience. I tell the viewers dont plan on getting popcorn, dont plan on using the restroom, because you will not leave your seat for two hours. No one spoke a word. No one looked to the left or the right. Your eyes are glued on that screen. So to the audience, thats how it is. But to you guys having lost tyrone and glenn, when you look back and you think about benghazi, what does it mean . Why did they die, oz . They died serving their country, doing what we love to do. I mean, thats serving other people. Thats kind of our whole makeup. Its just like why would you go why do we run to gunfire . Because thats who we are. Thats how we were made from the getgo. You know, theres a lot of great guys out there still doing this, both what we were doing in the military, thats just the way the makeup is. Thats the core of what ty and glenn were. I want to go back, because one of the things that gets lost in the coverage of benghazi is the lost of our ambassador who was portrayed in the film as a good man, who had begged for security increases there, and was denied, was denied those security increases, and they had in fact been diminished leading up to september 11. Thats another thing the investigators found, which is he had no idea being on benghazi on 9 11. The administration should not have allowed it, and if they sent him, they should have sent him with proper security. But he was skilled that night, and you went you went to the consulate the very facility which he was killed. You kept running in to try to get him, right . Multiple times. And the smoke was too much. Describe that moment when you knew he was in there and you didnt know whether he was dead. Umm, you know, i was on my belly the last time i went in before we got counterassaulted on the consulate and you could only see maybe two feet in front of your face. It was just so thick and hot, it was like being in a brick oven. Youre just sweating and coughing, because you cant hold your breath because your adrenaline is pumping and youve been running around for the last hour fighting your way on and searching and so it was pretty intense. You believe if you had been allowed to go when you first said send us and the radio calls came in from the consulate saying help us, do you believe there would have been any chance to save them sp they would be alive 100 . The congressional reports said there was no standown order. Thats just silly. Hillary clinton and barack obama others rely on those conclusions saying theyve really been cleared because investigators concluded there was no standown order. Its funny, because everything we testified to they agreed with us 100 from eating a candy bar to shooting all our ammo, but for some reason they dont want to believe we were told to stand down. Do you have a political motive . Up next, the answer to that question.

Im harris faulkner, lets get you back to kelly file special. Go to foxnews. Com. Were coming in. On the roof. Were under heavy fire. Chief. Are we expecting any friendlies . I am not aware of any friendlies. Let them come. Let them come. I havent thought about my family once tonight. Thinking about them now. Up here in this middle of all this. Im thinking about my girls, man. Every time i go home to becky and those girls, i think, this is it. Im going to stay. Shoot that son of a bitch. Unless something happthen so end up back here. They may be the most controversial questions to come out of the benghazi attacks. Could american lives have been saved there . And why did the white house initially blame a video when it knew that this was a terrorist attack . Those questions prompted multiple congressional investigations. Investigations that contradict some of what these heroes have said. But these men not only maintain they could have saved lives that night, but add that the politics that others resorted to on this issue when they got home is exactly what prompted them to go public. Do you have a political motive . No. The one that should have got the star is sitting right there because he saved tyrone by going in the building and he is the first one on the roof and put two tourniquets on dave and got a tourniquet on my arm and probably saved both of our lives. And had to see him naked once. They joke. When the audience sees what you went through and what happened to your arm, which was basically hanging off from about right here down. That was impressive. I remember seeing him try to get his gun up and his arm is hanging and hes still trying to shoot. I dont want to give a marine anymore kudos than they get, but i was impressed seeing that after the mortars hit. And when he went down to get help, it wasnt for himself. It was for the gentleman you just referenced who had also been hit. So oz walks in down below to where the cia agents are to say theres another guy, his arm is dangling. And he says, theres somebody who is hurt and needs help. And you refused to go on to that airplane that ultimately got you guys out of there on a gurney. Tell them what you said. I walked into that country, im going to walk out. Its who i am. Im not going to i dont know, i just felt compelled. Im not going to let that im not going to lose. Youre covered in blood. Uhhuh. Your arm would later require 13 surgeries just to save it. Yep. And the looks on the flight attendants faces, in the movie, theyre shocked. It was actually i mean, i look back at it, it was kind of comical. As im walking up, there was the flight attendants eyes were as big as saucers, her
