The Story

Ben Affleck: The Director

2012 was a turning point for Ben Affleck, cementing his transition from tabloid fodder to a serious, Oscar-caliber director. Following Gone Baby Gone and The Town, Argo showed his ability to handle large-scale tension while balancing an ensemble cast. argo 2012 tamilyogi

Back in the USA, the CIA is scrambling. How do they get these "houseguests" out of a country that is hunting them? Enter Tony Mendez (played by Affleck), an extraction specialist who comes up with an idea so ludicrous it just might work: create a fake sci-fi movie called Argo, fly to Iran as a Canadian film crew scouting locations, and fly the six Americans out right under the noses of the Revolutionary Guard.
