13 días es una película que narra la crisis de los misiles en Cuba y cómo fue vivida por todo el gobierno estadounidense. La presencia de armas nucleares soviéticas en la isla amenazaba la seguridad de EEUU , y ponía en un serio aprieto a dicho país, pues responder con force could very easily trigger a nuclear war between the two superpowers .
Throughout the film, President Kennedy Jonh , assisted by counsel Kenneth O 'Donnell , try to handle a difficult diplomatic situation, amid strong pressure by the army, which aims exploit the situation to start a war. The constant fear of imminent nuclear attack anguish of the characters. Kenneth O 'Donell and Jonh Kennedy are specially treated as one of the few who maintain a pacifist stance.
If really all actions Kennedy in the film correspond completely with historical reality, is something that I can not say, what is clear is that the figure of president is sublimated to a mythical figure, as often happens in all American films, leaving doubts about the true nature of Kennedy .
In any case, is a film that during its two hours, and although not technically a masterpiece (moving there from plans that do not come to mind shifted to a black and white that is neither clarified or justified) is a story that leaves the viewer completely trapped, it is well run and possibly because the fact of witnessing historical events adds great concern how close he could get to be in the disaster.
