History Documentaries
October 1962, a single photograph threatens to ignite the strained foreign relationship between superpowers, the USA and the USSR. The shot, taken by an American spy-plane flying over Cuba, captures the construction of missile launch pads, alongside crates that resembled the parts for the Soviet medium-range ballistic missiles.

If these missiles were fired, then America would retaliate and sink the world into mutually assured destruction in a matter of hours.
