A number of B-grade sci-fi movies were released within a year of Star Wars, hoping to cash in on the coattails of the mega-hit (Ironic as Star Wars itself was based on B-grade serials). The CIA joined in with this, creating a fake production company and crew in order to enter Iran during the hostage crisis and rescue a number of embassy employees who had avoided being taken hostage by revolutionaries. They were smuggled out while pretending to be members of the film scouting crew. The fake sci-fi adventure film became the focus of a major Hollywood movie which shared the name of the fake film, entitled Argo (2012).
