Argo (2012), directed by and starring Ben Affleck, is a historical thriller based on the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. The film dramatizes the CIA's covert operation to rescue six American diplomats from Tehran by posing as a Canadian film crew scouting locations. Affleck portrays CIA operative Tony Mendez, whose real-life efforts were later declassified. While the film takes creative liberties, it acknowledges the critical role of then-President Jimmy Carter, whose administration, along with Canada's government, orchestrated the rescue behind the scenes. Carter later praised the film but noted it underplayed Canada's contribution and Mendez's actual role. Inscribed to Ben Affleck, the first edition of White House Diary by Jimmy Carter.
