Thrilling fast paced meticulous recount of dramatic historical event

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2002)

If you were a teenager or older in 1962 you probably remember where you were when Kennedy made the famous Russian missile Conflict Speech. I heard it on the radio while waiting for a girlfriend at UCLA. This extraordinary well made film well illustrates how little we really do know of the behind-the-scenes operations of our government. This film is film making at its best. The acting is phenomenal with taut well paced direction. If you are history buff or just interested in some great entertainment see this.
