Thirteen Days

This dramatic re-creation of the Cuban Missile Crisis works best as a study in leadership. Although Kevin Costner, playing JFK adviser Kenny O’Donnell, is the
story’s focus, Bruce Greenwood offers a fascinating portrayal of the mythical president. His intense, layered performance suggests leadership under pressure requires patience, principles and lots of luck.
