   Is Argo based on a true story?

   • Ben Affleck's film Argo tells the bizarre story of how in 1980 the CIA - with Canadian help - sprang a group of Americans from Iran after they escaped a US embassy overrun by protestors. The film, which has received seven Oscar nominations including one for best picture, is based on real-life events. But how much of it is fiction?

   Does Argo reshape reality into a Hollywood hit?

The screenplay has the escapees - Mark and Cora Lijek, Bob Anders, Lee Schatz and Joe and Kathy Stafford - settling down to enforced cohabitation at the residence of the Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor.

   Did Argo really test the cover story?

   • The truth - which Argo artfully obscures - is that the cover story was never tested and in some ways proved irrelevant to the escape. There is a sequence in the film where the six go on a location scout in Tehran to create the impression they are movie people. According to Mark, the scene is total fiction.
