Entitled "Escape From Tehran," it details how CIA operative Tony Mendez, with the help of Hollywood makeup artist John Chambers, used a fake movie project to smuggle six Americans out of Tehran during the 1979 hostage crisis.
Warner Brothers found out about the tale when they read an article written in this month's issue of Wired Magazine by Joshuah Berman and they quickly snapped up the film rights for their studio. You can read the article that convinced Warner Brothers to make the movie by
