At the height of the Iranian Revolution in 1979, anti-Shah
militants stormed the U.S. embassy and captured 52 American hostages. Six
managed to escape the raid, finding refuge in the Canadian ambassador's home.
Within hours the militants began a search for the missing Americans, sifting
through shredded paperwork for even the smallest bit of evidence. Under
pressure by the ticking clock, the CIA worked quickly to formulate a plan to
covertly rescue the six embassy workers. Despite a lengthy list of
possibilities, only Tony Mendez (Affleck) had a plan just enticing enough to unsuspecting
Iranian officials to work: the CIA would fake a Hollywood movie shoot.
There's nothing in Argo or Affleck's portrayal of Mendez
that would tell you the technical operations officer has the imagination to
conjure his master plan — Affleck, perhaps to differentiate himself from the
past, plays his character with so much restraint he looks dead in the eyes —
but when the Hollywood hijinks swing into full motion, so does Argo. Mendez
hooks up with Planet of the Apes makeup artist John Chambers (John Goodman) and
producer Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin) to convince all of Hollywood that their
sci-fi blockbuster, "Argo," is readying for production. With enough
promotional material, concept art, and press coverage, Mendez and his team can
convince the Iranian government they're a legit operation. A location scout in
Tehran will be their method of extracting the bunkered down escapees.
