1980: Fake Movie for a rescue mission 2012: Becomes an actual movie

The last airport scene was immensely thrilling .

Now ARGO 2 plot is ready.

RIP Alan Arkin (March 26, 1934 - June 29, 2023), aged 89 You will always be remembered as a legend.

from a fellow Iranian living in Tehran: this is the best simulation of Tehran in Hollywood, by far

"If this is going to be a fake movie, it's going to be a fake hit." (laughs in Best Picture)

A solid piece of entertainment as well as a timely and exciting encapsulation of real-life historical intrigue. The ending is nail - biting. Ben Affleck at his best.

Suspense was intense, a film has to earn that from its audience, and this collaboration has done it! Highly recommend👍🏻👍🏻

I LOVED This movie when it came out. I need to see it again, I can't believe it's been 10 years since I've seen it! How time flies

"This is the best bad idea we've had sir" LOL! Epic!

Affleck deserved that best director Oscar. A fanatic movie. Look forward to his next projects.

If I'm gonna make a fake movie, it gonna fake hit

this movie was nothing about "Iran looking bad", it was about how two countries , the US and Canada, helped each other to save the lives of American citizens in a most unique way. This was a great film and Affleck is a great director!

Ben Affleck is becoming a great director. He should definitely focus on this part of his career. I loved the Town and this one looks amazing.

I'm a young Iranian boy from 2020. I saw this perfect movie a week a go. I decided to comment to say that Iranian love the world. What has done in 1979 & even Iran hostage crisis, were done by our grandfathers & grandmothers. New generations don't know anything about war. If I have been writing English wrong, sorry; Actually, I can't speak & write English & other languages like a native. Love & Respect from a young Iranian boy... from Tehran, Iran.

I just finish watching the movie for the first time, even though I am late watching this movie I can say this is a beautiful movie.. and this comment is coming from a Iranian born person, I have been living in United States for 40 years even though I have been discriminated since 1979 in United State, I can say I am proud that I am a United States citizen (year 2000) and I will not turn back. That was the best gift that I have received.. .. God bless America.... Sending love from Miami Florida..

"Dream On" - Aerosmith. that is one really great song...

One of the most riveting, nail biting movies. Absolutely deserved best picture!

This trailer alone is better than a 1000 movies I know of... simply brilliant !

This is one of my favorite stories and I'm stoked on the idea of them making a movie about it! Can't wait to go see it!

I'm an Iranian...and what they did back there...that was not cool...some people just go where the wind goes...anyway...i just hope everyone see this movie with an open mind...with thinking..not hating and cursing.... the old time is gone and there is a new world out there... thumbs up if you agree

"So you want to come to hollywood and act like a big shot without actually doing anything?" "YEah" "Youll fit right in"

One of the greatest movies of all time Thank you Ben Affleck rise and shine in Directing ,,Is this best bad idea we have Sir by far"

jonna mendez(former CIA chief of disguise) led me here from wired. its her husbands true mission story.

Ben Affleck directing has yet to disappoint. Gone Baby Gone and The Town are great. Can't wait.

Wow this movie is 10 years old already. I need to give it a rewatch as I haven't seen it since cinemas. I remember it being really thrilling and Alan Arkin being really funny.

"Based on a true story" This was a Canadian operation with minimal CIA involvement. This is American exceptionalism papering over the heroic actions of another country to help their people.

though they americanized it too much,its still a intense fun movie

One of the rare times when the Best Picture was awarded to an actual good movie.

"Say my name." "I'm Batman." "You're goddamn right."

It is good to have someone who can listen to you.

This remains the best trailer I've ever seen. Movie is phenomenal as well.

just saw this an hour ago, and it was brilliant. especially the opening sequence. Ben you've done it again, totally recommend it!

Ben Afflect's best movie for me is The Accountant, but this is also great! He's a great actor, like Depp and Mcconaughey

I have to watch this for a history project. Actually pretty hyped lol. Edit: well goddamn thanks for the likes LOL I'm now graduated. Passed that assignment. Was a good movie but not entirely accurate.

It was intense and gripping I really liked that movie.

Airport scene is so intense, my palm and sole are totally sweating

Another oscar winner.directed by Ben Affleck and produced with George Clooney and grant heslov. Screenplay by Chris Terrio. Great movie.

This was the last film that Roger Ebert chose as the Best film of the year, Before his Death on April 4 2013 at the age of 70

who's coming here in 2020

01:33 Song 1) Aerosmith - Dream On 2) Eminem - Sing For The Moment

The best movie i saw in my life. Great screenplay, great acting and the best thing is the background music.

i actually liked this movie alot. the suspense had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

💜✌Gosh this movie leaves me screaming at the screen.🤦‍♀️ The suspense makes me panic even though I know the ending. 😳 I love when the guy (who never trusted Ben) shows the sketches at the security gate & he speaks their language. My heart is pounding at this point because he really stepped it up! Everyone's faces throughout the movie were tense & you're right along with 'em! I could have never kept that poker face, but it's like OMGee! 🙉Start that plane already! ✈🏃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️✌💜

This might be better than any movie of this summer EVER!

Though the film is said to have made alterations from the real turn of events- especially for minimizing the role that the Canadian embassy played in the rescue, among others-Argo succeeds in bringing the audience to a heightened sense of thrill, which deserves a round of applause.

I just finished it an hour ago. As a south east Asian I didn't aware of any of this historic event. I like that the movie portrayed both sides, USA and Iran. There is no good or evil, both are right and wrong at the same time. That's life. I really want to know what happened to Sahar, the Iranian girl after all of these. May peace be upon you.

U'know as a Iranian this place (iran) Hurts so hard . Its just so sad and tragic . Our grandfather's and fathers thought they where doing good for this country but boy oh boy i sure know how that ended

when an enemy applauses for your actions, you should know you've done something wrong.

Mr Affleck you are an incredible director.

Watched this movie in 2023 .one of the best I have ever watched .😅

I can't believe i just left this movie unwatched , i was literally lying in my hard-disc for years

The trailer for this movie gives me chills, man

Fantastic movie. I didn't know anything about the story. After I left the theatre and went to the bookstore to buy the book written by Tony Mendez. Great job by Ben Affleck.

Ben Affleck is one HELL of a director AND actor

I remember this awful takeover/hostage crisis. The hatred all felt. I did not feel that hatred here. Affleck did not need to focus on it. He understood their hatred, and rather than hating back, he used his insight on how these people think to make his mission a win. He made his piers understand it, the 6 embassy members. Same way FBI profilers work and give that insight to help catch them. Hating them won't matter, understanding how they think does matter.

This is my favorite movie directed by affleck

just saw this movie. extremely well done. im not normally a movie goer but this one caught my attention. Amazing! ben affleck is great. must see movie.

I'm really surprised with the fact that The trailer had the OG Dream On song i mean the point at which it starts playing should've made me serious and excited about the movie but instead brought a smile on my face ...... Anyways time changes things.

I loved this movie in 2012. this is one of the last Oscar movies I watched, liked, and reminded fondly in my memory. I watched it many times. however, in July 2022 I see things slightly differently, little things I didn't pay attention in the movie lingered in my mind re-watching last night....however, a a good and enjoyable movie which deserves an Oscar.

"Dream On" by Areosmith, and I think it's the use of that song for the last minute that really makes this an awesome trailer

1:08 In the actual movie the sign appears all broken and dilapidated... although in reality it actually got renovated a couple of years before the movie is set.

Thank you, it's an awesome song.

Hollywood movies are so educational... America won WW2 singlehanded, Robin Hood was an American, and the Russians are coming.

Who's here after the killing of Solemeini???

I saw this movie and as an Iranian my heart broke . People's idea of my country is awfull . I hope one day the world find out that who we really are ...

Argo 2012 proves to be an exhilarating and suspenseful film that consistently keeps you engaged. It captivates from the opening scenes to the closing credits, delivering an outstanding overall experience. The cast, featuring talents like Ben Affleck, John Goodman, Alan Arkin, and Clea DuVall, adds a layer of excellence to the movie.

Good movie. Great cast. Amazing and extremely memorable trailer!

Argo 2 intensifies

Saw this on Netflix and looooooooved it!!!! Nicely done 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

thank you! i completely agree with your comment

Life is a story. We have all lived several lives.There is one thing that counts and that is love.

Thank you for this information. I was unaware of this.

Yet another ' Americanized ' movie which is not only factually wrong, but gives the Americans undue great credit for what actually happened, much like ' The Great Escape ' movie. Were it not for the courage and work of the Canadians, these Americans would never have escaped. In addition, the C.I.A. screwed up the visa dates. The Canadians caught the errors, and fixed them.

Who,s here after fall of kabul

Searching at the comments to read peoples opinions about the movie.. I am happy enough that I saw most comments are about how good this song is! 🤟

Wow, this movie actually looks amazing.

It really deserves an oscar maybe even two.

Make more movies Ben Affleck! ~

I had goosebumps when they were all on the plane😬

I saw this movie and loved it. It was such a great movie.

I fell in love with Ben Afflecks character in this film. Although I realise there were other characters who perhaps did not get the credit they deserved. War and politics are so filthy. The US is a wolf in sheeps clothing in my opinion. However, brave people such as these have my deep respect and gratitude.

After seeing this, I can only guarantee one thing and Hope to God for another. I can guarantee that this movie will be nominated for Best Picture during the Oscars, and the one I Hope happens is that Ben Affleck gets nominated for Best Director. He directed a great fucking movie. This movie was by far the best I've seen so far this year. It was so good. I'm gonna see it again probably this week. Can't give this movie enough praise.

Ooofff what a movie 10/10 would recommend

two shots are real Tehran.........i liked the shot from Shahyaad (Azadi) Square ......... looks beautiful

Just saw this movie earlier. It was easily one of the best films of the year. If not one of my all time faves.

Ben Affleck went from being an ok actor, to a really amazing director. Gone Baby Gone and The Town were each a masterpiece. now I hear their talking to him about directing a Justice League movie.

Argo director is waving for the 2 part lol

ben affleck😍😍😍😍😍

I just came here because of what’s going on in Afghanistan right now 😳

I like this faster rendition of Dream On... perfect for the trailer !!!!

This trailer should be the base standard of how to make a trailer without revealing too much but still arousing interest in the public to watch it. "Dream on" completely amplifies the trailer !!!

Can't wait for this! Bryan Cranston for life!

I remember when it first came out in 2012, this was simply the best movie of the year. Ben Affleck should have won a Best Director Oscar but he wasn't even nominated. Bad call Academy.

Best movie ever! Thank you, Mr. Affleck!!!

this is the best bad idea we have sir , .. so far

Are you kidding? Nowhere near Oscar worthy?!? This is one of the best films EVER!!! It has an amazing story, incredibly suspenseful, great directing, great acting, great everything! How the hell isn't this Oscar worthy??!!??

This is one of my favorite stories from real life :)

Waiting patiently on the sequel right now.

Love this movie
