Based on an astonishingly true story, the story opens in 1979 as the Iranian revolution reaches a boiling point. A CIA ex-filtration specialist concocts a risky plan to free six Americans who had found shelter at the home of the Canadian ambassador, at the time that 52 Americans were taken hostage and held 444 days.
