So I saw a movie but I want to watch it again and I don't know the name.?
The movie starts in Iran with a bunch of people rioting in front of what I think is the embassy. Then they begin to come in over the fence so everyone is shredding files and burning breaking etc. But the talibans end up taking over the building. I believe they hold 8 hostages and they have them for over a year until a guy plans a mission and comes in under cover somehow and gets them out on a plane at the airport. Im also pretty positive it is based on a true story.

Argo http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1024648/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Acting under the cover of a Hollywood producer scouting a location for a science fiction film, a CIA agent launches a dangerous operation to rescue six Americans in Tehran during the U.S. hostage crisis in Iran in 1980.

Sounds like the opening scenes of Argo, the Ben Affleck movie about a side story to the Iranian hostage crisis of the 1970s. Known as the "Canadian Caper" the incident involved several American diplomatic employees who were able to escape the initial storming of the embassy and took refuge in the house of the Canadian ambassador. They were then secretly smuggled out of the country.

The name of the movie you are looking for is Argo. It stars Ben Affleck. It is based on a true story, but it is not an accurate portrayal of that story.
