Cuban Missile Crisis (Cold War) war movies

Cuban Missile Crisis 14 October 1962

Cold War

American spy planes have detected Soviet nuclear missiles launchers being installed on Cuba, which meant that American cities would be inside their range of attack. President Kennedy answered in the naval blockade of Cuba (also called quarantine) to prevent any more military equipment to be delivered on the island. Soviet Union tried to break the blockade while the diplomatic actions took place in United Nations.

This situation led to the point in which there was the danger of nuclear conflict between USA (which felt that the installation of nuclear weapons on Cuba were threat to their people) and Soviet Union (that tried to put the threat on USA as the answer to placement of American nuclear weapons in Turkey). The diplomatic clash led to proving that Soviets were lying that there is no nuclear weapon on Cuba.

The stand-off between two empires lasted 13 days in which the risk of nuclear conflict was the most plausible scenario in history (so far). Soviets decided to negotiate in secret with Americans and finally pulled off the ships heading for Cuba and later removed the installations from the island.
