About the Argo 💬

• Based on the exaggerated true story.

ARGO chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis - the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades.

On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador.

• The movie was fake. The mission was real.

Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA ''exfiltration'' specialist named Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck, who also directed the film) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.
