Ben Affleck's "Argo" movie trailer and poster!

Warner Bros. Pictures has revealed the trailer and poster for Ben Affleck‘s new thriller, Argo, which is set during the 1979 Iranian revolution.

Affleck has scored hat trick of writing, directing and starring in this film about how the CIA used a fake sci-fi film to rescue Americans during the Tehran hostage crisis.

Here’s the official 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.

The film also stars Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Kyle Chandler, Kerry Bishe, and Alan Arkin.

Argo is set to open on October 12th, 2012
