2013 – Drama: Argo
In 1979, at the beginning of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, in the waning days of the Jimmy Carter presidency, the American embassy in Tehran was stormed and many Americans were taken hostage. The CIA was ordered to get them out of the country, and agent Tony Mendez devised a daring plan: create a phony film project (“Argo”) to be shot in Iran and smuggle the Americans out as its production crew.
