Argo

Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis--the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades.

But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador.
