Argo Way or No Way!

From the dragon's teeth
This is based on a true event in the early days of the Iranian Revolution. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, aggressive militants stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage.  This attack on the US Embassy saw 6 employees escaping to see refuge in the nearby Canadian embassy.

Throes of Revolution
Ben Affleck's telling of this true harrowing experience of the six refugees and an almost hare-brained ploy to take them out of Iran made the movie almost unreal yet chillingly exciting.

The Sook Acid Test
Imagine getting onto an airline which took off moments before the army took notice that they have been duped due to poor intelligence.

A Flight  to Remember
A great movie to come our way in 2013. Great movie-making.
