Winner of a Golden Laurel Award! For thirteen days in October, 1962, the world stood still as one of the most dangerous situations in history unfolded. Premier Khrushchev and the Russians were pushing President Kennedy and his staff to the brink of nuclear war. William Devane stars as JFK and Martin Sheen as Bobby Kennedy in a recreation of the hysteria in the Oval Office and Kremlin as the two countries compete in the most serious of political chess matches. Negotiations and communications between the two leaders, the naval quarantine around Cuba and the power politics involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis are portrayed with perfection. 'One of the most riveting performances ever produced for television.' -- Florida Sun-Sentinel |
