| SYNOPSIS/PLOT | At the height of the Iranian revolution in 1979, Islamist
militants storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans
hostage. Six manage to get away and hide in the home of the Canadian
ambassador (Victor Garber), but the solution is temporary because they
know—especially with the door-to-door searches—as soon as the militants
figure out where they are, they'll be killed. CIA "exfiltration"
specialist Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) comes up with a risky scheme to get
them safely out of the country. His plan is to pose as a film producer
scouting locations in Iran for an upcoming sci-fi production called
Argo. The American hostages, in disguises, will then accompany him out
of the country as his film crew. In order to pull it off, Mendez enlists
the help of veteran Hollywood producer Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin) and
make-up artist John Chambers (John Goodman). Based on the true story of the rescue operation by Canadian ambassador after the Canadian Parliament passed special legislation allowing Canadian passports to be issued to the Americans to help them escape. |
