Anyone seen it?
Affleck hit a grand slam with this one, imo, both acting and directing.
And I'm not particularly fond of him.

'Argo' John Goodman: 'Ben Affleck is such a smart director' - Movies News - Digital Spy

Alan Arkin & John Goodman add humor. A wonderful story. Being true makes it better.

"Argo **** ********". ! Classic!

Yep. Good film. Relatively true according to the credits. The Unimog speeding down the runway alongside a 747 taking off wasn't credible

"ARGO" was the name given to the script that was chosen by the CIA op. (Mendez?) and the Hollywood guys back during the planning stage. The original movie story line was something about a sci-fi journey to unusual, exotic & desolate places. So, they figured Iran was exotic and had desolate film locations and away they went. One of the Hollywood guys came up with "Argo".
Jason & the Argonauts? -> His ship was the Argo.

Here's an interview with the CIA guy.

Kerry, I agree that the cars chasing the 747 at the end was kind of hokey. I wonder just how close the escape actually came to ending in failure?

Argo = Band of heros in Greek mythology.

Ben Affleck horrible actor but a great director. All the movies he directed are solid; Argo no exception. I was bitting my nails at the end of the film.
