As is pointed out in the movie even if we had made the demand to have the missiles removed a peaceful outcome still might have ensued. This is because either way the conflict was still an eye for an eye. The cubans removed their missles from Cuba in exchange for our removal of missles from Turkey. Nuclear war would only occur once either side thought it was losing beyond a point from which it could not recover. Thus, even if the US had struck it is not 100% certain.
The other thing is that you have to consider the circumstances under which Regan and Bush were presidents. It was a time of detente as well as improved communication between Washington and Moscow( red line and improved diplomatic relations). To at least some extent it should be taken into account the situation in which Regan and Bush were presidents.
