A Daring Plan. A Real-Life Rescue. Argo begins in 1979 as Iranian militants storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and take all but six people hostage. Making their way to the Canadian Embassy for protection, the remaining six are in hiding — but it’s only a matter of time until they’re discovered. CIA exfiltration expert Tony Mendez, played by award-winning actor and director Ben Affleck, is called in to help. Mendez devises a complex, and to some, dubious plan literally straight from Hollywood to smuggle out the Americans. Packed with mystery, suspense and a touch of dramedy, this movie is one you’ll want to watch again and again. Trivia According to Mendez, the fake production office created as part of the rescue plan was so convincing that by the time the mission was completed, the office had received 26 scripts. Thanks to Mendez, the film’s production crew was allowed unprecedented access to both the exterior and interior of the CIA. None of the film scenes were shot in Iran. The exterior shots of Lester Siegel’s home were actually taken at the estate of Zsa Zsa Gabor. This was the first film directed by Affleck that was not set in his hometown of Boston.
