Description: Watched once. Excellent condition. Based on real events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis, focusing on the little-known role that the CIA and Hollywood played—information that was not declassified until many years after the event. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, the Canadian and American governments ask the CIA to intervene. The CIA turns to their top "exfiltration" specialist, Tony Mendez (Affleck), to come up with a plan to get the six Americans safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies. Includes a 64-page, color-photo production book in hardcover with cast & crew bios, information on the shooting locations, notes on the awards the film earned, a general timeline of events and a few words on the real-life Tony Mendez, among other things. A manila-like envelope that closes with a Velcro dot contains a CIA badge with Ben Affleck's picture in character, a small poster reprint of the movie that never happened and a poster size map of events with additional details.
