As the Iranian government closes in on six Americans hiding out during the Iranian revolution, a CIA agent (Ben Affleck) hatches a plan: He'll disguise himself as a filmmaker, provide the Americans with cover identities as a film crew, and smuggle them out of the country. Argo is unquestionably a success—a late-’70s-style thriller with an adult sense of pacing and a sharp, funny script. (PAUL CONSTANT)
