Argo Free movie streaming Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis-the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. 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 (Ben 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. -- (C) Warner Bros. Release Date Argo Oct 12, 2012 Wide | |

Review For Argo |
Affleck himself turns in a quietly impressive movie star performance. Tony Mendez is a kind of anti-Bourne, comfortable with his anonymity, living off his wits, not his fists. Tom Charity-CNN.com
'Argo' is one of the best movies of the year. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
Argo has that solid, kick-the-tires feel of those studio films from the 70s that were about something but also entertained. Only it's as laugh outright amusing as it is sobering. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
The movieland satire is laid on thick, but it's also deadly accurate. Schlock has never seemed so patriotic, and Arkin and Goodman have rarely been so good. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Argo is a rollicking yarn, easily the most cohesive and technically accomplished of Affleck's three films so far, but a part of me wishes the director hadn't cast himself in the lead role. Dana Stevens-Slate
If nothing else, it proves that every so often, the CIA can pull something off - and that yes, Canadians are just about the nicest people on the planet. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
Ben Affleck's wildly entertaining thriller Argo is further proof of the old Hollywood adage that fiction is stranger than truth after all. Jay Stone-Vancouver Sun
Affleck spins the absurd true story into an engrossing espionage thriller that would be utterly ridiculous if the stakes weren't literally life-or-death. Norman Wilner-NOW Toronto
After Gone Baby Gone, The Town and now this directorial-best, Affleck is establishing himself as a major craftsman. Ben Kenigsberg-Time Out Chicago
Affleck inserts such thoughtful commentary and ideas unobtrusively into his film; there's no ideological ball-peen hammer from the filmmaker to drive his beliefs into the audience. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade
Argo expertly builds tension and makes you wonder whether the mission will succeed. Charles Ealy-Austin American-Statesman
There are many heroes in Ben Affleck's spunky, polished political thriller. But the biggest hero is Hollywood itself. Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix
A strong yet uneven effort... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
We are invested in this rescue mission not simply because these are fellow Americans in peril, but also because Argo takes the time to make each person behind enemy lines unique and authentic. Jordan Hiller-Bangitout.com
An edge-of-your-seat thriller not to be forgotten at Oscar time! Kam Williams-AALBC.com
'Argo' only clocks in at a two-hour running time and tells a much better story than the films that over-stuffed audiences with nearly three-hours. Clay Cane-BET.com
Second billing to unabashed jingoism S. James Wegg-JWR
This may be the most geek-friendly movie that never did the rounds at Comic-Con. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com
When Tony (Ben Affleck) lands in Tehran and trains the frightened Americans to play their parts as a Canadian film crew, Argo compares the ruses run by governments and movie studios. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters
The whole thing is paced like a whip, and the third act may literally be the most suspenseful piece of film I've ever seen - and yes, I have seen Rear Window. Recommended without any reservation for every and any cinemagoer. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
A terrific supporting cast, especially the non A-list actors, make the dramatic license taken justified and redeem Affleck for miscasting himself in the hero's role. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
A brilliant thriller that's based on a historical incident, 'Argo' is one of the best films of 2012. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
A wonderfully lively and engrossing movie ... Philip French-Observer [UK]
An enthralling and deliciously entertaining movie -- and a deserved triumph for its star and director. Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies
Functional. Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture
