Great screenplay/direction/cast. The first part of the movie gives a brief history lesson which lays the foundation for the current (1979-80) situation in Tehran.  There was some literary license taken (police cars chasing a plane down the runway) which only added to the drama.  This is a definite must see and should be seen in the theater; however, there are no special effects, so you can wait for it to come out on Netflix.It always amazes me how the studios are able to accurately reproduce in detail the way that things were in a particular point in time.  This was set in the late 70's and all of the detail was time period accurate, right down to the trinkets on the kid's bookcase in his bedroom.</blockquote>
