Weekend Edition: Ben Affleck Brings a Crisis to the Big Screen
Ben Affleck’s new film, “Argo,” jolts us back to 1979. Iran’s in revolution. Protesters storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran. The American hostage crisis begins as all the U.S. diplomats inside the embassy are captured and blindfolded, except for six, who escaped to the Canadian ambassador’s residence and hide there. But how long can they be safe? The film’s based on the CIA’s true story of an agent named Tony Mendez, who concocts a cover story to get them out - that the six were Canadians on a movie crew, scouting locations for a science fiction film called “Argo” they wanted to shoot in Iran. Ben Affleck directs the film and plays Tony Mendez, the real life CIA agent, who has to drill the six Americans on how to sound both like believable Canadians, and genuine film people.
