Everything you’ve wanted to know about the real life fake ‘Argo’ movie from 1980

In Ben Affleck’s Oscar-winning film ‘Argo’, the plot revolves around a real life CIA operation from 1980 in which six American hostages are rescued from Iran under the disguise of being part of a Canadian film crew doing a location scout for a movie also called ‘Argo’. The story is true, and so was the movie… well, the script was real.
