[CIA expert points out one major difference between ‘Argo’ and real-life undercover mission

When Iranian students stormed the US Embassy in Tehran in November 1979, they took the Embassy staff hostage and held them for 444 days.

This top-secret mission was the subject of the Academy Award-winning film Argo. Watch “Iran Hostages: The Dangerous Journey Home” Sunday, November 24 at 9pm ET/PT on CNN.
