This is wicked awesome: the story of how the CIA used a fake cheesy sci flick to rescue a couple of Americans from Iran in 1980. It would make a great movie in and of itself, except for the part about how the CIA was acting competent, and how Hollywood people helped out, and the media kept their mouth shut. So maybe the 2007 movie version would feature the takeover of the American Embassy in Tehran being orchestrated by the CIA to get the last best hope for the worldTM Jimmy Carter out of office, in favor of dictator to be Ronnie Reagan. Or something like that.
Either way, it'd make a great Kurt Russell flick.
