The film mainly tells the whole story of the Kennedy administration's handling of the Cuban missile crisis in the context of the Cold War. It was mainly caused by the Soviet Union's deployment of missiles in Cuba and the United States' insistence on removing the missiles. A confrontation is over, a world war is almost on the verge of breaking out, and mankind is unprecedentedly close to the brink of being destroyed by a nuclear bomb, but it ends with mutual compromise between the two sides. The film condenses the events that lasted 13 days into more than two hours, creating a very successful The tense atmosphere made people feel empathy and also got a lot of thinking. In the film, there are many high-level military generals who insist on carrying out air strikes and launching wars to wash away the previous humiliation. He can always make the right decision, when to take a naval blockade, and when to take an armed attack. He can know what to do. If he can avoid armed conflict as much as possible, he will try to avoid it as much as possible. He is thoughtful and worth learning from. A film worth thinking about and learning from experience, although there is no lack of American great power and heroism. The three male leading roles are very good, and the film makes people quickly enter the rush atmosphere it creates.

    There are a few good scenes including U2 being shot down, JFK and the generals fighting each other, the Navy intercepting a Soviet cargo ship, a heated debate at the United Nations, etc. But most of the film revolves around "to hit or not to hit" inking back and forth. Kevin Costner's character presence is low.

    1. The president of the United States had to be so bitter, so he had to see so many faces. 2. There are always hot-headed people around, and it is the hardest to calm down. 3. The sad U2 episode was super exciting, I watched the 2nd episode. 4. It is the little people who decide how things go. MD, I'm so impressed! Just watch it repeatedly.
