As the Iranian Revolution closes in around the U.S. embassy in Tehran, CIA exfiltration specialist Tony Mendez devises an unlikely cover story to extract six stranded Americans: a fake Hollywood sci-fi production. Ben Affleck is Mendez, moving between Langley briefings and a city on edge, while Bryan Cranston’s CIA supervisor pushes the operation forward from headquarters. In Los Angeles, John Goodman and Alan Arkin help sell the sham movie to the press, turning studio hustle into part of a covert rescue drawn from true events.
