The Marion Palace Theatre will show the film Argo on January 25, 26, and 27, 2013. The film recently won a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture and Best Director and is nominated for 7 Academy nominations including Best Motion Picture of the Year.
Kenneth Chisholm gives a synopsis of the film, “In 1979, the American embassy in Iran was invaded by Iranian revolutionaries and several Americans are taken hostage. However, six manage to escape to the official residence of the Canadian Ambassador and the CIA is eventually ordered to get them out of the country. With few options, exfiltration expert Tony Mendez devises a daring plan: to create a phony Canadian film project looking to shoot in Iran and smuggle the Americans out as its production crew. With the help of some trusted Hollywood contacts, Mendez creates the ruse and proceeds to Iran as its associate producer. However, time is running out with the Iranian security forces closing in on the truth while both his charges and the White House have grave doubts about the operation themselves.”
Argo stars Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston and John Goodman. This movie is rated R for language and some violent images and runs for 120 minutes.
Argo will play at the Marion Palace Theatre Friday, January 25 at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, January 26 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, January 27 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $4/Adults, $3/Seniors (62 & over), $2/Children (12 and under).
