After the official US poster for Ben Affleck’s new film Argo was revealed the other day, the UK know has its turn to shine with a striking new poster of our own. The colouring for our homegrown poster is much darker than the US poster, however I am undecided as to which one I prefer. Check them both out at the bottom of this post.

Affleck directs the film from a screenplay by Chris Terrio, based on a selection from Master in Disguise by Antonio Mendez.

The main cast also includes Kerry Bishé, Kyle Chandler, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, Victor Garber, Zeljko Ivanek, Richard Kind, Scoot McNairy, Chris Messina, Michael Parks, and Taylor Schilling.
Argo will arrive in UK cinemas 9th November.
Synopsis:
Based on true events, “Argo” chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis—the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades.
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. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.
