The third act of "Argo," in which American hostages escape through the Tehran airport.
"Lincoln" and "Argo" tell the stories of men who, against the wishes of their advisers, are determined to set risky ideas into motion. And both films wring suspense from real-life events, the outcomes of which are forgone conclusions.
The most hair-raising sequence of "Lincoln" revolves around the passing of the 13th Amendment. (Spoiler alert: The slaves are freed.) Yet how hard was it, as an audience member, to breathe during that final vote? Steven Spielberg expertly milks the tension, crosscutting from Mary Todd keeping tally of the votes to the men waiting for word in General Grant's barracks.
The third act of "Argo," in which American hostages escape through the Tehran airport, is almost as thrilling — but it's also the most obviously Hollywood-ized part of the film. A telephone picked up on the final ring! The movie pitch of a lifetime — in Farsi! An airplane-tarmac car chase! The facts of that final escape — in reality the Americans more or less breezed to safety — were most likely always destined to be brushed aside in favor of edge-of-your-seat contrivance. Which makes the final nail-biter of "Lincoln" all that more impressive. "Lincoln" took its share of revisionist liberties. But its best twist was the triumph of justice.
