    In October 1962, U-2 spy plane photos taken by the Soviet Union reveals that installing nuclear missiles in Cuba. America's backyard missiles in Cuba is a threat to the security of the country. President Kennedy, solid attitude of opinion, but the Soviet leader Khrushchev works well with needles. In this case, the US public is kept for 6 days. Because they do not want the media pressure, and if people panic. Pentagon considers to invade Cuba. But Kennedy does not intend to go that far. Because of the Soviet Union who want to do it is afraid of retaliation may perform similar occupations in Europe. In particular, first as an attack on Berlin. Therefore, to support NATO member; Germany, a possible 3rd World War (nuclear war) may occur between America and the Soviet Union. On the one hand external problems (Cuban-Soviet), on the other hand, internal problems (those who want to oppose the occupation) The President and his men must overcome are problems to be solved even for a very short time. And with President John F. Kennedy advisers to prevent this crisis has to immediately identify a strategy. So Robert F Kennedy proposes to establish "Executive Comittee of the National Security Council" (Excom). This issue took two key people from each unit aims to solve evaluate in detail. Then the President and his team find a few solution. The first is whether blockade of Cuba, blocking but the Pentagon thinks it is a weak move to friendly countries and the American people.  The second is not only blockade but also to make air strikes. And after invasion of Cuba. The general staff officers support this because they do not want to happen again showcases the events in the Pigs Gulf. Because they know they want without waiting retaliatory air strikes come after the invasion to begin. Third, the United Nations ambassador Adlai Stevenson offers bureaucratic bargaining to make an agreement. This about back channel diplomacy. For missiles in Cuba, Include removal of missiles in Turkey and Guantanamo. The blockade began when Russian ships are forced to go back again but after a while the Russian ships are moving toward Cuba are doing at this time Russian bureaucratic bargaining.  Between Alexander Fomin and John Scali ( ABC Correspondent) and through this back-channel communication method the Soviets offer to remove the missiles in exchange for public assurances from the U.S. that it will never invade Cuba. Then they are surprised with a second letter sent to Khrushchev, and they think that a possible coup attempt. Eventually, saying that the missiles used in Turkey and Italy will shoot back and say that this should be reflected in the press. They compromised on this issue. However, in this work the original missile systems available and they deny it in front of the press, this issue arises and they know that they do come up this offer. In fact, the United States' most dark moment using the amazing power and diplomacy and strategic intelligence tells the story of a hero to prevent the crisis. There's no war going on, but the United States in the internal affairs of a film that portrays the emerging occur from a power struggle.
