Defcon

Produced by The Discovery Channel, a historical documentary commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Cuban missile crisis, presented by internationally acclaimed writer Tom Clancy. Defcon 2 is the highest level of US military readiness short of nuclear war. This state of alert has only been reached in one instance: The Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1962, the Soviet Union amassed an arsenal of nuclear missiles in Cuba, which lies some 70 miles off the coast of Florida. Four Russian submarines discovered in the Caribbean provoked a standoff that brought the world perilously close to nuclear war.

On October 30, 2009 an independent filmmaker and his cast and crew are reported missing a month before the release of their controversial film predicting the end of the world. Authorities have reason to believe the film's 2012 doomsday scenario may have something to do with their disappearance. An agent for CEA (Central Extraterrestrial Agency) discovers the footage to the film and watches the film on September 10, 2012, three months before the world is to come to an end.
