Interesting historical picture.

Rating: Null/10 (4 September 2001)

While this is an interesting film to watch it only captured the U.S. side of the crisis and contained nothing about what was happening in the Kremlin. The story of the crisis over the years has been beaten to death by documentaries and interviews of virtually everyone who was involved so it didn't really contain anything original. In the 1974 made for TV film `The Missiles of October' John F and Robert Kennedy were the principal characters where in this version presidential advisor Kenny O'Donnell is clearly given the lead role. It's good for the historical aspect and had some action footage but don't pass up seeing the 74 docudrama.
