#4: Argo (2012) Downplayed Canada’s Role in the Rescue
Argo (2012) dramatized the rescue of American diplomats during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979 and 1980. While the operation was real, the film greatly expanded the American role and reduced Canada’s contribution. The dramatic airport chase never happened. Several diplomats and governments involved in the rescue were omitted entirely.
