Summary
A dramatization of the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, seen largely through the eyes of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert, and special assistant Kenneth O'Donnell. As U.S. intelligence discovers Soviet nuclear missiles being installed in Cuba, the White House scrambles to find a response that avoids both capitulation and nuclear war, navigating intense pressure from the military and a tense standoff with Moscow.
Thirteen Days (2000) is a film IMDb files under the drama, history and thriller genres.
266 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 271 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 993 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Thirteen Days lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 266.
