The film tells the true story of the CIA mission titled 'Argo' where the CIA made up a phony movie company, called Studio Six, in order to rescue American hostages during the Iranian Revolution.
The CIA came up with the idea to pretend to make a movie, so as they could come into contact with the hostages in Iran!
As it turns out, the CIA did such a wonderful job of convincing people that "Studio Six" was real, that after the rescue mission was completed at the phony studio had closed down - the studio received 26 scripts from hopeful screenwriter's, and even a young, hopeful, Steven Spielberg wanted to have his films produced by Studio Six!
