In the 70’s, when the USA was less than
popular with the newly anointed Khomeni and the Islamic radicals that had just
taken over Tehran, six US nationals find themselves holed up at the Canadian
embassy in Tehran. In a one-man mission led by CIA operative Tony Mendez (Ben
Affleck), the group attempts to flee Tehran under the guise of being a film
crew filming a science fiction movie – Argo. So – does the group pull off a
near-impossible – and barely sanctioned – escape? Argo may show up the
fundamentalists of Iran as less than bright, but that is not the intent,
really. A simple and well-dramatized sequence of events makes this movie worth
the while
