The White House leadership navigates the extreme tension of the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. As U.S. reconnaissance photos reveal Soviet nuclear missiles being installed in Cuba, the administration must find a way to force their removal without triggering a catastrophic war. The story follows the intense, behind-closed-doors debates and strategies employed during the thirteen days the world stood on the brink of nuclear annihilation.
