The movie "Argo" stood out as a meaningful work amidst a myriad formula-driven Hollywood concoctions. Now, that is not to say that the true story behind Argo wasn't embellished for entertainment purposes. It was.

For those not familiar, Argo centers around the 1980 joint CIA-Canadian operation to funnel six escaped American hostages out of Iran following the deposition of the Shah.
