On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the American embassy in Tehran and captured dozens of American hostages, sparking a 444-day ordeal. There's a little-known footnote to the crisis: six Americans escaped and a mid level agent named Antonio Mendez devised an ingenious yet incredibly risky plan to rescue them.

good-not-great
This movie was well made. It seems true to the period. You get a real feel, with use of archive footage and soundtrack, for that period in history. I have a feeling the facts may have been embellished to make a better movie. Is that wrong? I don't know. I do know this is a good movie that kept me tense until the end. I just don't agree that this deserves the Oscar for best picture. Grade B+
A winner.
Argo is a wonderful film! It's suspenseful, quick paced, interesting, and nice to look at. Well made! It made for a great theater experience.
Also worth noting is John Goodman. He tends to make everything better. Kind of like the Bill Murray effect.
