14 GIANT Mistakes You Never Noticed in Major Motion Pictures

9. ‘Argo’ Wasn’t Nearly as Exciting as Ben Affleck Would Have You Believe

In Argo, agent Ben Affleck proposes that the CIA attempt to rescue a handful of hostages trapped in Iran after the 1980 revolution in Tehran. In the film, the heroic American and his cohorts convince a reluctant Agency brass to pull off a series of daring stunts, that just barely gets the hostages on board a plane at the last moment. In fact, the CIA was all for the plan from the beginning. What’s more, a lot of the ideas and the actual effort came on the part of Canadians. Finally, at one point one of the Canadian diplomats pointed out that there was little to no drama during the rescue, and that the fake cover story was borderline irrelevant.
