Argo may have won an Academy Award for Best Picture, but don't count as Iranian officials as fans. After viewing the film they said they're planning to sue the filmmakers over the allegedly "unrealistic portrayal" of their country, Iranian media reported on Tuesday.

According to reports, French lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre is in discussions with Iranian officials about how to move forward with the lawsuit. Coutant-Peyre also represents infamous Venezuelan-born terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, who is known as Carlos the Jackal.

Argo tells the story of the rescue of six American embassy staffers in Iran who were sheltered at the home of the Canadian ambassador, until they escaped using a fake movie as their cover.
