Who can help recommend some movies about "Cuban Missile Crisis"?

Recall the Cuban missile crisis movie "Thirteen Days of Surprise" and expose the old scars of Russia and the United States.

Thirteen Days of Scare, a film about the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, produced by Hollywood in the United States, was released in the United States, especially in Russia, which triggered a series of questions about the authenticity of the film background.

American Party: Bush should learn from the lessons of that year.

On April 1 1 day, 1962, Ropot McNamara, US Secretary of Defense, and Theodore Sorensen, adviser to former US President Kennedy, attended the Russian premiere of "Thirteen Days of Surprise". Also attending the premiere were senior Soviet officials who had participated in the deployment of missiles in Cuba.

1962 The Cuban crisis was triggered after American spy planes discovered that the former Soviet Union had deployed missiles in Cuba. The whole crisis lasted about two weeks, and finally ended after Khrushchev agreed to withdraw his weapons and equipment.

Ropot McNamara said that the Cuban crisis at that time was entirely caused by the misjudgment of the United States and the Soviet Union. At that time, the former Soviet Union thought that Cuba might be invaded by the United States, while the American military thought that Moscow would not respond if Cuba was hit. He said: "Both sides made mistakes and misjudged. Fortunately, we finally avoided a disaster. The lesson of this crisis is that if mankind abuses nuclear weapons, it will cause a catastrophe. " He said that at present, both the United States and Russia should rapidly and actively reduce their strategic nuclear weapons. Sorensen said that President Bush should learn from the lessons of 40 years ago and give up the plan to build a national missile defense system. He said: "NMD will be regarded as a provocative and reckless act, which will eventually make the relationship between the two sides more tense." Maybe people who watch this movie will think that we live in an era of heroes. But what I want to say is that we don't need such a hero. "

Russian experts believe that this film did not show the real situation of the Soviet Union at that time.

A senior official of the former Soviet Union said that Americans mistakenly thought that there were about 40,000 Soviet troops stationed in Cuba. But in fact, the former Soviet Union did not deploy missiles with warheads and full of fuel in Cuba. So why did Khrushchev show off the deployment of missiles at that time? This is because at that time, everyone thought that American nuclear power was absolutely dominant. So the former Soviet Union concocted this big scam that frightened the United States. Khrushchev and the then foreign minister personally operated the scam, so his subordinate diplomats knew nothing about it. Connie Nock, then Counsellor of the Embassy in the United States, said that this crisis can be said to be a classic example of human manipulation. He said: "However, we didn't expect this crisis to be so easy to solve. Imagine, if the president of the United States at that time was Reagan and the defense minister was Weinberg, would the final result be the same? I think it is definitely not. "
