The TVI Take

Ben Affleck's 2012 Best Picture-winning film about the CIA's exfiltration of six American hostages during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. The structural commitment to letting Tony Mendez's actual covert-operation cognitive material be the subject, and the Bryan Cranston / Alan Arkin / John Goodman supporting trio, is canonical 2010s prestige thriller.

Best Picture.
