Congrats to the Academy Award for getting this one right. Congrats to Ben Affleck .I did not think you had it in you . It is a wonderful and important film that I encourage everyone to see. It accurately takes it's audience into the radical world of the post Iranian revolution of the 12ers . It accurately depicts how badly the Carter Adm and the CIA failed to understand the threat of the Ayatollah and his movement. It accurately and generously gives proper credit to our Canadian allies who played a key role in the drama.

And it depicted a story that most Americans never knew or have forgotten. It shows the courage and heroism of the CIA agent who managed to pull off the incredible and improbable rescue.
