Actions of Iran have shocked the civilized world.
Lets go lets lets go! -Shred everything!
The embassy has been ceased and more than sixty americans citizens...
continue to be held as hostages.
If we're going to go then, we need to go now!
What happened?
-Six of the hostages went out a back exit.
Where are they? The Canadian Embassador's house.
You got revolutionary guards going door-to-door
If these people die, they die badly.
White House wants the six of them out.
What we lack for this
are bicycles.
Deliver the six bikes provide them with maps.
Or you could just send in training wheels and meet them at the border
with gatorade.
It's going to take a miracle to get them out.
Buddy man, what are we watching?
I got an idea. They're a canadian film crew for a science fiction movie.
I fly in to Tehran. We all fly out together as a film crew.
I need you to help me make a fake movie.
So, you want to come to Hollywood, act like a big shot
without actually doing anything? -Yea.
You'll fit right in.
You need a script. -Argo.
Science fantasy adventure.
Landscape - Mars, desert. -We need an exoctic location to shoot.
You need a producer. -If I'm doing a fake movie
it's going to be a fake hit.
You don't have a better bad idea than this?
This is the best bad idea we have sir
by far.
You have seventy-two hours to get them out.
You're getting a visitor.
You've gotten people out this way before?
No.
You're asking us to trust you with our lives.
This is what I do.
and I've never left anyone behind.
I know who they are and I know they're hiding out.
It's over Tony.
If they stay here, they will be taken.
probably not alive.
We're responsible for these people.
I'm responsible.
You really believe your little story is going to make a difference
when there's a gun to our heads?
I think my little story is the only thing
between you and a gun to your head.
