Based on real events, the dramatic thriller "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.
"Argo" also stars Bryan Cranston, Academy Award winner Alan Arkin and John Goodman. Rated R for language and some violent images, "Argo" runs 120 minutes.
