Good film based on a true incident.

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2019)

Based on a true incident in Iran in the late 70's / early 80's. The CIA decides to rescue 6 American Embassy employees who are hiding out in the house of the Canadian Ambassador to Iran after the embassy is over-run by Iranian "student" protesters. The angle they use is unique - play them off to the Iranian government as a Canadian film crew to allow them to get on a plane to freedom. The story is well written and suspenseful; the pacing is a bit slow, however the stellar performances of the ensemble cast overshadow that. This is good stuff.
