In 1979, during the Iranian hostage crisis, six American diplomats escaped the overrun US Embassy and hid in the Canadian embassy for 85 days. CIA agent Tony Mendez orchestrated their rescue by posing as a Hollywood film crew, successfully exfiltrating them from Iran amidst heightened tensions and meticulous planning. These incredible events inspired the movie 'Argo'.
