Argo

During the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979, CIA operative Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) takes on a dangerous undercover mission as a Hollywood producer scouting locations for a science-fiction film so he can rescue six Americans hiding in a Canadian ambassador's home. Adapted in part from the 1999 memoir The Master of Disguise and the 2007 Wired article recounting this unbelievable espionage story, the historical thriller Argo was beloved by critics and audiences alike and won three Academy Awards including Best Picture at the 85th ceremony.
