Argo
The movie was fake. The mission was real.
Directed by Ben Affleck
Produced by GK Films, Warner Bros. Pictures
A taut political thriller built on real historical stakes, balancing procedural ingenuity with the human cost of a dangerous extraction mission.
As the Iranian revolution reaches a boiling point, a CIA 'exfiltration' specialist concocts a risky plan to free six Americans who have found shelter at the home of the Canadian ambassador.
