On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian Revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage.

Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA specialist named Tony Mendez comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country
