Watch the first TV spot for director Ben Affleck’s ARGO. The dramatic thriller opened over the Labor Day weekend at the Telluride Film Festival to rave reviews. The film stars Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, Victor Garber, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, Scoot McNairy, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Kerry Bishé, Kyle Chandler, and Chris Messina.

Based on true events, “Argo” chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis—the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.

With a screenplay by Chris Terrio, the film is based on a selection from The Master in Disguise by Antonio J. Mendez and the Wired Magazine article “The Great Escape” by Joshuah Bearman. ARGO is from producers Grant Heslov, Ben Affleck, George Clooney and executive producers David Klawans, Nina Wolarsky, Chris Brigham, Chay Carter, Graham King, Tim Headington
