【內(nèi)容簡介】

人員被關(guān)押，但有6人逃脫，并躲在加拿大駐伊朗大使Ken Taylor（維克多·加博 Victor Garber 飾）的家里。CIA高層Jack O'Donnell（布萊恩·科蘭斯頓 Bryan Cranston 飾）找到專家Tony Mendez（本·阿弗萊克 Ben Affleck 飾），讓他協(xié)助將那六個人帶回美國。經(jīng)過討論后，CIA決定采取Tony的辦法，以拍攝電影的名義，Tony到伊朗將那六個人帶回。Tony聯(lián)系了他在好萊塢的朋友，化妝師John Chambers（約翰·古德曼 John Goodman 飾），為了找到了那六個人，開始了艱苦的逃離德黑蘭之路……選段中，他們終于飛離了伊朗領(lǐng)空，眾人喜極而泣，相互擁抱親吻。因為Tony所做的是秘密行動，不能公開，所以美國政府把功勞歸功于加拿大友鄰。而這件事情直到很多年后才正式解密，而Tony等人最后也拿回了中情局情報勛章以作紀(jì)念。
