Based on true events and packed with stars, "Argo" is a political thriller about a life-or-death operation intended to rescue six Americans in Iran. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reached its height, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. In the middle of the crisis, six Americans steal away and find security in the home of the Canadian ambassador. However, knowing it is only a matter of time before they are found, and the fact that they will likely be killed, a CIA specialist named Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) comes up with a plan to get them out.
Great directing, great acting, great screenplay and suspense. Ben Affleck proved his directing skills with this one.
