so, what i say to him is did you do -- a good tony mendez, although you're not good looking enough. >> reporter: now, tony is readying for another mission. in time the destination is hollywood and targets an ascor, perhaps, for best picture. >> and -- . >> the whole increment of your life and have people respond to it. that is my little book. >> reporter: in knoxville, maryland, tom fitzgerald, fox 5 news. >> good stuff. >> you saw that movie? >> i loved that movie. i thought it was unbelievable. >> all right. >> and i am excited he's in maryland. >> yeah. >> and that is cool. >>> and -- >> how about it, 57 degrees and briefly interrupted and temperatures that my not get as warm and that is a delightful, mild evening and a good chance to get out and about and to enjoy an evening story and we will likely see clouds increasing overnight and we will hold them until the afternoon and reagan national, up to 57 degrees and with tell uses, 53 and that is an average of 43 and another mild day one year ago. 49 degrees and that is where we are. monasses, fredericksburg 52 degrees and annapolis

he plays tony mendez as the c.i.a. agent. here it is roll type. >> they've hiding at the canadian ambassador's residence. fortunately we do not believe the iranians are aware the six escaped. >> so what we ride for this are bicycles. we identify back roads from the district. a couple rack lines through the mound tons to the crossing. >> cars are off the table because of the roadblocks. >> wait until the weather clears up and deliver the six provides them with maps to the turkish border. >> we have intelligence they can't ride bicycles we're prepared to send in somebody to teach them. >> you could just send in training wheels and meet them at the border with gatorade. >> it's 300 miles to the turkish border. they need a support team with tire pumps. >> we were asked to troubleshoot this. >> it's winter. you can't afford to wait around until spring for them it's nice to take a buying ride. the way out is the airport. we send thp this pass ports and he takes hem out on a commercial flight. >> rose: do you think this film under p

there's one part where ben affleck is talking to me or tony mendez. and i say to ben affleck, i've got instructions we're going to close the embassy. so you got to movie the departure date up. you got to really move this along. it's inconceivable the canadian government would close that embassy before they left. >> rose: right. >> if we were at the u.s. embass i'm the same. the u.s. embassy wouldn't contemplate closing the office and say well the six of you are on your own now. it's just not right. so the movie is, plays canadians as rather passive when actually the tickets are one example. that is there wasn't the last minute of flurry. >> rose: and there was the passports. >> the passports which we had to get a new set because theirs were on calendar. the chase at the airport was exciting. but what happened on the departure was i gave each of the six one ticket on swiss air and one ticket on b8 so if any mechanical problems came up. the embassy car picked them up at 4:00 in the morning, picked up tony at the hotel. went to the airport and said to ou

. >> tony mendez. >>> two days to go until the oscar nominations are revealed.n "gma." >> such a big week. >>> it's a big night tonight on abc. a major event involving time changes for two of our shows so important to the late night schedule. starting tonight, "nightline" is moving an hour later, to 12:35. and "jimmy kimmel live" is an hour earlier, at 11:35. you have three of the hottest stars on the planet. >> we're going to have the great stories. just an hour later. it's all starting tonight with a look at a shocking cocktail of a movie. quentin tarantino's "jengo unchained." i sat down with the only interview with the controversial director and two of his stars, leonardo dicaprio and jamie foxx. one critic said, there's something for everyone to hate in this movie. >> you don't do a movie like this with quentin tarantino and not expect that. a black person i was talking to said, does the "n" word bother me? it's supposed to. >> i don't think anyone is saying it is used more excessively than used in 1858 in mississippi. if that's not the case, they can shut

and just as it proceeds in the film, tony mendez, a cia officer went to hollywood and took out ads inrades and created buzz around this fake movie in order to create a cover story to get six people out. all of that is true. john chambers played by john goodman, the make-up artist in hollywood who won an oscar for "planet of the aapes," he was working for the cia. so that character of a man sitting in a make-up trailer making "planet of the apes" masks and working for the cia by night is absolutely real. >> let me ask you something about slate has asked about this. much of the stuff "argo" leaves out is even better than what made it in. for example, the down playing of the canadian involvement in the rescue. i mean, how do you make the choices? first of all, how does that make you feel? do you pay any attention to that sort of thing? how do you make the choices in terms of what to leave out and put in? >> well, you feel that many of your sins are sins of omission. if we told everything that was happening, we would have a 12-hour mini series or longer. there's all kinds of canadian hero
