Ben Affleck’s Iconic Thriller With 96% RT Score Is Back on Streaming

The film under discussion is “Argo,” now available for streaming on Peacock. This movie is inspired by a real-life event called the “Canadian Caper.” In this historical incident, six American diplomats who fled the US embassy after it was stormed by protesters during the Iran hostage crisis in 1979 and 1980 were secretly rescued through a joint operation involving the CIA and the Canadian government. Ben Affleck portrays CIA Officer Tony Mendez, who disguised himself as a Hollywood film producer to assist in the rescue mission. The movie also features Victor Garber, Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, and John Goodman. Starting from the beginning of this month, it has been added to Peacock’s streaming service as part of NBCUniversal’s August 2025 lineup.
