Militant students stormed the American embassy and held sixty Americans captive for a gruelling 444 days. But until now the CIA has never revealed the twist to the Iran Hostage Crisis: six Americans escaped. The escape plot was run by Antonio Mendez, head of the CIA's extraction team and a master of disguise. Mendez came up with an idea so daring and potentially foolish that it seemed destined for Hollywood ...and indeed it was. He invented a fake sci-fi film called 'Argo' (from the actual name of the CIA mission, a reference to Jason and the Argonauts). After announcing the production to the movie industry, Mendez put together a team of real 1970s Hollywood actors, directors and producers - along with covert CIA officers. They would travel to revolutionary Iran under a foreign film visa, and while 'scouting locations' throughout the country they would track down the six Americans who were hiding out. After giving them false identities as part of the film crew, they would spirit them back across the border.
1979年11月4日，六位美国外交官设法逃出被了激进分子围攻的美国大使馆，其余人员则遭到长达444天的扣押。六位逃亡者在加拿大使馆留宿了两个多月，直到中央情报局展开冒险营救行动。
门德兹是中央情报局顶级“偷越封锁线”特工。他想出了勇敢的计划，断定这样一个史无前例的营救行动需要大胆的掩盖。他在真正的好莱坞制片人协助下，伪称拍摄科幻电影《阿尔戈号》。这项瞒天过海的计划面面俱到，甚至在好莱坞发出了各式各样的假广告。他和他的团队接下来为六位外交官制作假档案，冒充加拿大电影摄制组成员，在伊朗寻找合适的场地。
然后是危险的部分：门德兹和另一位中央情报局官员在加拿大政府的协助下，进入伊朗境内，在进行了充分的说服和精心的准备之后，门德兹带领他的“摄制组成员”终于通过层层关卡，在德黑兰机场登机。同一天，加拿大驻伊朗使馆关闭，加拿大大使也立即返国。
