Yea. Check out Sheldon Stern: The Week The World Stood Still, I'm pretty sure that's where I first read about it.
You might also want to check out Robert Kennedy's Thirteen Days.
I'm sure there are more reference to it than that but I'd have to dig though my dead-tree media and I don't have that in front of me right now.
Welp, it was a crisis in which the whole world was almost obliterated, so it's actually worth spending time learning about. We could all be dead if the Kennedy brothers hadn't been there. JFK was determined not to get everyone killed or to let the crisis escalate to violent conflict. It was that determination IMO that saved the world.
Here's R. Kennedy's Memoir about it, here's the full movie about it, and here's the Wikipedia page about it where you very easily could have found the answer on your own (really, couldn't find it anywhere?), with about 10 minutes of reading and a little bit of critical thought. Next time do your own research, it'll stick in your mind.
If you are really interested in this, I suggest the book Thirteen Days by Robert Kennedy. By documenting the Cuban Missile Crisis day by day, it describes the risk of a nuclear confrontation accelerating into a global disaster.
