This movie is an account of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The crisis last the thirteen days in the title.

This is well done movie. Good acting, script, and cinematography are all very much in evidence. It is wonderful to see the history of our time accurately displayed.

The script is taken from Robert Kennedy's account of the crisis. The US late in October of 1962 discovered the Soviet Union was placing medium range missile into Cuba contrary to their promise. The original plans were take out the missile sites by bombing to be followed by an invasion. The idea of a blockade against Cuba was also suggested.

I will have more in a farther post.
