Argo

from Based on a True Story

Even though Argo starts off with text that says it's based on a true story, the movie was actually based primarily on two sources: a book by Tony Mendez, the CIA agent Ben Affleck plays, and a 2007 article on Wired by Joshuah Bearman.So how much of Argo is true? And how much of it was fictionalized for the film?Did you enjoy this episode?
