I'm 30 and honestly don't much about the situation. How close is the movie to portraying what actually happened?
TIA

Saw it and liked it a lot. Had me on the edge of my seat as I had not read about this incident, nor did I know anything about it before I saw this movie.
Afleck is a good director IMO.

Here's the Wiki on Canadian Caper AKA Operation Argo. I'm reading through it now (but I haven't seen the movie).

Saw it Friday Night...it was outstanding. Ben may get the Oscar...Alan Arkin is the man even though he had a small role.

Good movie to go see with a girl. The suspense will have them clinging to you, much like horror movies. There are just some incredibly tense moments.

It wasn't de-classified until somewhat recently, I believe.

Clinton declassified it, so conceivably some of us could have learned about it in middle or high school history.
