Ben Affleck’s movie, "Argo," claims to be a "true story" and while it's widely regarded as one of the best pictures of the year, garnering multiple nominations and awards, the truth is its portrayal contains some glaring omissions. The backdrop of the tale is the 1979 storming of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran by Islamic militants who captured 52 American diplomatic personnel and held them hostage for 444 days. However, the core story of "Argo" focuses on the six American diplomats who escaped the initial takeover and found refuge in -- and eventual rescue from -- the Canadian Embassy in Iran.
