I care far more about Ken Taylor's place in history than the Oscars. If you ask anyone under 30 who saw this movie, Argot is... how did Goober put it....the true story of how the CIA safely whisked six U.S. Embassy staffers out of Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis .

Read on Bucky. I knew the story well before I posted this thread. As to your knowledge of history and fact, or lack of when it comes down to it. Many Members have taken you to school on your idiotic and downright dumb statements that you call historical fact.
In the final scenes of the "nail-biting political thriller" Argo -- the true story of how the CIA safely whisked six U.S. Embassy staffers out of Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis -- a group of Americans disguised as a film crew safely survives three passport checks, the canceling and uncanceling of plane tickets, and a runway car chase by the Revolutionary Guard. But according to the insider account published in 1999 by the CIA's in-house journal, Studies in Intelligence, the actual exit was much less dramatic. The Iranian customs official stamping passports at Tehran's Mehrabad International Airport "could not have cared less" when he stamped the fake passports and exit visas of "six Canadians, a European, and a Latin American" as they snuck out of the country and onto Swissair Flight SR 363
Argo is a movie- It is based on events- and Hoolwywood changes whatever they want to make it sell. And from reading ES's post it is selling quite well.
Here is another creature that is not real. Hate to burst that small bubble again.
