Theatrical Release Information:
Thirteen Days in October

For nearly two gut-wrenching weeks in October 1962, the United States teetered on the brink of annihilation when its government discovered Soviet-produced missiles stationed and mounted in Cuba, and pointed directly at U.S. shores. With a deft hand plus extraordinary intelligence, intuition and skill, President John F. Kennedy worked around the clock to deliver the nation from this towering threat - and succeeded. The documentary Thirteen Days in October revisits the events of this haunting yet critical period in postwar history. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
