'Argo' Blu-Ray Exclusive: The Story Behind The Rescue

[NelsonG]

With the [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/oscars/"]Oscars[/url] happening this Sunday, there's no better time to revisit one of the upcoming ceremony's front-runners than now. We're talking, of course, about "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/480760/moviemain.jhtml"]Argo[/url]," director and star [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/380/personmain.jhtml"]Ben Affleck[/url]'s drama based on the true story of the rescue of six American men and women in Tehran after the fall of the Shah.

There's movie-magic involved in "Argo," of course, most especially in the creation of the fake sci-fi adventure the film takes its name from — but the circumstances surrounding the six Americans and how they evaded capture are very real, as seen in this [b]exclusive[/b] behind-the-scenes featurette from the "Argo" Blu-ray. See for yourself below:
