In 1962, with the discovery that the Soviet Union was placing missiles in Cuba, the tense 13 days that followed saw the Cold War come as close as it ever would to thermonuclear conflict, as President John F. Kennedy (William Devane) and his advisors, including Attorney General and brother Robert (Martin Sheen), engaged in fateful brinksmanship with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev (Howard Da Silva). Acclaimed teleplay co-stars Ralph Bellamy, Michael Lerner, John Dehner. 150 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
