This film is a true story that is based in Iran, and tells a an amazing story that you would assume is fake from the far-fetched plot. The film is directed by, and stars Ben Afflek who I also enjoy watching, and since he is also the director, he manages to convey what he actually envisined which I always think makes for an interesting watch. The film is about the crisis involving the hostages taken at the US embassy in Iran, and how the CIA came up with a Sci-Fi plot in order to shoot their scenes in Iran and thereby gain access to save the American people. It was a fantastic story that really needed to be told.
