Declassified by Pres. Clinton in 1997, "Argo" tells the story of 6 Americans working at the Embassy in Iran when it was overtaken by terrorists in 1979. These Americans snuck out a back door and were sheltered by the Canadian Ambassador for about two months.
The Movie is about Tony Mendez, a CIA operative, and his unorthodox means of getting these people home. It's a great movie, the acting is great, the suspense is tremendous and I recommend it highly!
Great summary. Seems there is a book about this too by Tony Mendez. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Mendez
