Thirteen Days is a very entertaining as well as historically accurate movie

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2006)

The movie Thirteen Days was a very well told story about The Cuban Missile Crisis, which was the closest the United States came to nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Shown through the eyes of the aide of the President, Kenny O' Donnell, this movie shows the inner thoughts and emotions of President John F. Kennedy and his advisors as they tried to avoid World War III.
After a U2 spy plane spots Soviet missiles being assembled in Cuba, President Kennedy and his cabinet must decide the best course of action to take to keep the missiles from being used to kill Americans.
Since I was not alive at this time, Thirteen Days does a very good job of showing what happened with only a few things that were not historically accurate. An example of one historically inaccurate thing with the movie was that Kevin Costner's character, Kenny, was not actually a real character. However, all the other characters were real and played important roles in averting nuclear holocaust.
