Kennedy</a>'s handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis. ABSTRACT American spy satellites uncovered evidence of the Soviet Union's intent to place nuclear missiles aimed at the United States in Cuba in 1962, producing a thirteen-day standoff in which American military forces led by then-President and Commander-in-Chief <a href="/people/113/000024041/">John F. Kennedy</a> debated their course of action. Thirteen Days follows Kennedy and his men as they work to stave off a seemingly inevitable World War III. Excellent dramatization of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. <table border=1 class="sortable bordered" id="sort_actors"> <tr><th>Name</th><th>Occupation</th><th>Birth</th><th>Death</th><th>Known for</th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/096/000129706/">Dylan Baker</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>7-Oct-1959</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Murder One</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/404/000351348/">Jack Blessing</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>29-Jul-1951</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Mr. Donner on The Naked Truth</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/323/000130930/">Len Cariou</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>30-Sep-1939</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Sweeney Todd</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/758/000022692/">Kevin Costner</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>18-Jan-1955</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Dances with Wolves</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/480/000112144/">Steven Culp</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>3-Dec-1955</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Clayton Webb on JAG</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/087/000159607/">Jon Foster</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>3-Aug-1984</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Damien Cutler on Windfall</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/526/000092250/">Bruce Greenwood</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>12-Aug-1956</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Dr. Griffin on St. Elsewhere</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/769/000347725/">Lucinda Jenney</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>23-Apr-1954</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Rain Man</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/248/000130855/">James Karen</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>28-Nov-1923</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>The Return of the Living Dead</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/433/000131040/">Ed Lauter</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>30-Oct-1940</tt></td> <td align=right><tt>16-Oct-2013</tt></td> <td>Character actor</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/306/000130913/">Christopher Lawford</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>29-Mar-1955</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>All My Children</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/163/000349113/">Dakin Matthews</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>7-Nov-1940</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Character actor</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/019/000347972/">Jack McGee</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>2-Feb-1949</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Chief Jerry Reilly on Rescue Me</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/463/000281617/">Bill Smitrovich</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>16-May-1947</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Andrew Thacher on Life Goes On</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/665/000136257/">Caitlin Wachs</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>15-Mar-1989</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Chloe Waters on Profiler</td> </tr> </table> REVIEWS<table><tr><td><img src="/rarrow.gif"></td><td>Have you seen this film?
