create a phony Canadian film project looking to shoot in Iran and smuggle the Americans out as its production crew. With the help of some trusted Hollywood contacts|
Mendez created the ruse and proceeded to Iran as its associate producer. However| time was running out with the Iranian security forces closing in on the truth while
