Ben Affleck is the director who is on everyone's lips at the moment as he is set to cement himself as a major filmmaking force with Argo.
The movie has been more than whipping up a storm on the festival circuit and it along with Affleck himself are already being discussed as major Oscar contenders.
Argo is the first directorial outing for Affleck since the critically acclaimed The Town - and he is looking to make it a trio of hits after the success of his debut Gone Baby Gone.
As well as directing the movie Affleck also leads an all star cast while George Clooney and Grant Heslov are on producing duties.
Argo is based on a real events and in this latest video we take a look at the real story behind the movie:
We have already mentioned the cast and Affleck is joined by Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, Clea DuVall and Scoot McNairy.
On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage.
But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador.
Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country.
Argo is a movie that is winning over critics left right and centre so don't be surprised if early next year Affleck is the toast of Hollywood having scooped another Oscar.
Argo is released 7th November
