“When everything went wrong, six men had the courage to do what was right.”
Synopsis
An American ambassador is killed during an attack at a U.S. compound in Libya as a security team struggles to make sense of the chaos.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
