Warner Bros. has released the first TV spot for the upcoming Ben Affleck‘s thriller Argo. Affleck directs and stars in the true story of a CIA agent's outrageous plan to rescue six Americans who found temporary shelter when the embassy in Iran was overrun.
Here's the synopsis for the film
On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.
The film also stars Alan Arkin (“Little Miss Sunshine”), Bryan Cranston (TV's “Breaking Bad”) and John Goodman (“You Don't Know Jack”), Kerry Bishé, Kyle Chandler, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, Victor Garber, Zeljko Ivanek, Richard Kind, Scoot McNairy, Chris Messina, Michael Parks, and Taylor Schilling.
Argo is due out in theaters on October 12th, 2012.
