Thirteen Days (2001) from Johnny Web (Uncle Scoopy; Greg Wroblewski)

Unbelievable. They completely ripped off my screenplay for this film. I knew I shouldn't have sent it to Costner.

In my original version of the screenplay, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the closest mankind has come to nuclear war, was solved by me, even though I was just a high school freshman at the time.

When the missiles were first discovered in Cuba, JFK called me at home to ask what to do. At first, my mom wanted me to do my homework before talking to Kennedy, but when he persuaded her to give me the phone, I took over. Armed with perfect hindsight, since I wrote the screenplay thirty years later, with the knowledge of how things actually turned out, I told him exactly how every detail would play, showing him how to outfox Khrushchev while simultaneously giving the old boy something to keep him in power against the hardliners. Then I told Jack how to get around the Joint Chiefs and their initial bellicose reaction, how to manipulate the press, and even how to keep Jackie in the dark by keeping up a pretense of social activities. I even had to give him a few tips on how to pick up chicks. 

After I got off the phone with JFK, I called all the individual pilots who were flying over Cuba, and gave them personal instructions outside of the chain of command, which the brave fighting lads followed to the letter. After all, how often did they get direct orders from a future internet pornographer?

Imagine my surprise when they took my script, ran it through a word processor, and did a search-and-replace, taking any reference to  "Uncle Scoopy", and changing it to "Kenny O'Donnell". 

But you can see right through that, and the world can thank its lucky stars to have had a man as wise as me on the scene in those critical times, always right in every instance, always offering the perfect insights into every personality on the international stage, always seeing the truth so opaque to Bundy and McNamara and Bobby, even offering Jackie tips on her pillbox hats and dinner invitations. 

After all, you are all here, because I was there, and I'm a little pissed off that Kenny O'Donnell is trying to hog all the credit.

By the way, the film was produced and partially financed by some guy named Kevin O'Donnell.

I'll give you three guesses who his dad was. 

It is a reasonably accurate recreation of thirteen of the most dramatic days in recent human history, and it maintains the sense of tension that we all felt at the time.

There are also many deleted scenes (all unimportant), various speeches from the real people represented in the script, special effects demonstrations, a making-of documentary, and script-to-screen capabilities.
