After “Gone Baby Gone” and “The Town,” it is to no surprise that the movie “Argo” is an astonishing thriller. Ben Affleck recreates the historical tragedy, a now-declassified operation, giving credit to those who risked everything. The film is a work of magic as it ties together humor, suspense, and intrinsic drama. During an Iranian hostage crisis, CIA officials must concoct a scheme to release Americans from the hostile environment that is Tehran. Argo will keep you guessing on which life or death decisions will be made next. To begin the movie, over fifty Americans in a U.S. Embassy are bombarded by protesting Iranian revolutionaries in 1979. In the midst of all the chaos, six of them manage to escape the horror, taking shelter in the nearby home of the Canadian ambassador. As the days pass, the CIA is responsible for bringing home all those in danger, and time is running dangerously low. This film recreates the process that real-life figure Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) and the six escapees go through to bring home their fellow Americans. After multiple unsuccessful ideas, Mendez generates a perilous idea of making a fake movie. “This is the best bad idea we have” says Jack O’Donnell (Bryan Cranston) to the CIA director. They will justify their presence in Iran by saying they are scouting movie locations. With the help of two Hollywood figures, Lester and John, they devise a script for their fake movie, Argo. The movie is constructed within days after the ‘go ahead’. Mendez struggles to persuade the six escapees to purposely put themselves through a dangerous mission, but they have no choice. They are soon to be discovered by the Iranians and cannot stay in the ambassadors home much longer. After agreeing, they are assigned new identities. They take on the roles of Canadian filmmakers, memorizing completely new lives for themselves. Terrified yet determined, the seven Americans risk everything. Their lives lie
