7.7 / 10

In 1979, the American embassy in Iran was invaded by Iranian revolutionaries and several Americans were taken hostage. However, six managed to escape to the official residence of the Canadian Ambassador and the CIA was ordered to get them out of the country. With few options, exfiltration expert Tony Mendez devised a daring plan: create a phony Canadian film project looking to shoot in Iran and smuggle the Americans out as its production crew. With the help of some trusted Hollywood contacts, Mendez created the ruse and proceeded to Iran as its associate producer. However, time was running out with the Iranian security forces closing in on the truth while both his charges and the White House had grave doubts about the operation themselves.

While the film doesn't show Canada's involvement to the fullest it's still a great nonetheless. Don't let the truth blind your judgement of a great film. - @Sunday, July 1, 2018 11:32 PM

Taking a poll: How many feel what percentage of involvement did our good neighbours to the north(Canada) played a part in getting those hostages out of Iran? Just curious. - @Friday, February 22, 2013 6:39 AM

Argo is a Great Movie. But this movie kinda makes the americans think of the citizens of iran as Anti-america....Ben Afleck should have better emphasize the 1953 Iranian coup d'état orchestrated by the intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom (under the name 'Operation Boot') and the United States (under the name TPAJAX Project). SO this whole revolution thing is basicly AMERICA's an GREAT BRITAIN'S FAULT. - @Saturday, February 2, 2013 2:43 AM
