"It shall be the policy of this Nation, that any missile launched from that embattled island, against any country in the northern hemisphere, will be considered an attack, on the United States by the Soviet Union and will require a full retaliatory response."

Add a Commentagree with previous reviewers. I learned a bit of history that happened with I was a tot. The presentation was very pro-Kennedy but still a worthwhile rendering of events. A good movie.
This story illustrates how difficult and delicate the presidency is. Dealing with other nations, especially hostile ones is a chess game. It's too easy to say "They did this? Then we'll do THAT." No. Because in reality what happens is they do this and then you do that, then they do another thing, which you have to counter and then they double down and then you triple down and then they do X. That thing which you cannot allow. And now you're in an intractable position. You're committed. And they're committed. And now it may mean war. And you'll wish you'd been a lot more flexible when this whole nightmare first happened.
well done although it would have been nice to have used more original footage
