November 1979 the US embassy in Tehran was taken over. tThe hostages were held 444 days. They are set free 10 minutes after Reagan was sworn in as POTUS.
The plot of the movie is this: Staff of a US Embassy are taken hostage, and a CIA specialtist has the idea to provide a cover story to get the hostages out. They plan to tell the militants (AKA, the hostages' keepers) that the hostages are not actually staff of the US Embassy, but Canadian Filmakers, scouting for exotic locations to film their science-fantasy flick "Argo." Argo is actually a Greek Myth too.
