Watching Argo, other movies with Iranian plot?

Watching Argo tonight as Iran is in turmoil again. It’s a good watchable movie.

The only other movie I’m familiar with Iranian characters & plot was “Into the Night” with Jeff Goldblum & Michelle Pfeiffer(David Bowie also makes an appearance).

Aside from ‘80s action movies any other similar movies come to mind?

I remember liking Argo, but I don't remember the details. Do I add another movie to rewatch to my list?

What's the Israeli one? Something like The Red Sea Diving Resort? It wasn't bad.

Disregard...that takes place in the Sudan, not Iran.

I am not 100% sure but wasn't there a movie or TV show about the rescue of several of Ross Perot employees during that time?

Not a movie, but an Israeli series called Tehran on Apple TV. It’s pretty good, follows an Israeli female agent.
