For thirteen extraordinary days in October 1962, the world stood on the brink of an unthinkable catastrophe. After the discovery of Soviet weapons in Cuba, events and tension escalate between two military superpowers and within the White House. President John F. Kennedy (Bruce Greenwood), Bobby Kennedy (Steven Culp) and Special Assistant to the President Kenneth P. O'Donnell (Kevin Costner) are in the hot seat as they struggle to prevent nuclear war.
Synopsis: Nail-biting political thriller revisits the tense days inside the White House during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis as the U.S. and Russia near nuclear war. As JFK is shown photos of missiles in Cuba capable of wasting chunks of the U.S., he must decide what to do while keeping a bomb-happy military at bay. Then the news goes public and things really explode.
