What is Argo about?
Argo: A Daring Rescue Mission In 1979, amidst the Iranian Revolution, six Americans managed to escape capture and sought refuge in the Canadian Ambassador's home. The CIA, determined to rescue them, turned to Tony Mendez, a specialist in extracting people from dangerous situations. Mendez's plan was to pose as a Hollywood producer scouting locations in Iran and train the refugees to act as his "film" crew. With the help of some Hollywood veterans, they created a fake movie project called "Argo" and set out on a daring mission to rescue the six Americans. Starring Ben Affleck as Tony Mendez, Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, and John Goodman, Argo is a thrilling true story that directors George Clooney and Grant Heslov brought to life with their production company Smokehouse Pictures.
