On October 14, 1962, an intelligence information revealed in a photo taken by a U-2 reconnaissance plane flying over Cuba triggered an unprecedented crisis between the United States and the Soviet Union, the two world's largest superpowers at that time.In this set of intelligence information, U.S. intelligence officials found that the Soviet Union was building a base in San Cristobal, southwest of Havana, the capital of Cuba, less than 150 kilometers away from Florida, to deploy medium- and short-range missiles and Il-28 heavy bombers carrying nuclear weapons. These missiles were enough to destroy major cities across the United States and cause major casualties.The whole United States fell into extreme panic, which also pushed the entire world to the brink of nuclear disaster.President John Kennedy (Bruce Greenwood) and his brother Robert Kennedy (Steven Culp) calmly responded to this imminent nuclear war crisis. The film reappeared through the eyes of senior special assistant Kenneth O'Donnell (Kevin Costner) of the White House.
