Best dramatization of the events I have seen.

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2001)

Except for the tendency to turn some of the opponents of the President into strawmen, and of course, to make "O'Donnell's" role in events larger than life this is good stuff. Director is able to maintain dramatic tension, even though we know the outcome, by neat plot twists. Furthermore, these are the two most credible Kennedy brothers I have yet seen, and I wish the focus had been more on them.
For what it's worth, I remember the time and I never for a moment thought that we were close to war, because the Soviets were too far out on the limb. But maybe I was wrong.
