Sean Connery ("Entrapment") and Brooke Adams ("Gas Food Lodging") lead an
all-star cast in this sweeping story of two old flames caught up in the chaos,
fury and exhilaration of Cuba’s revolution. Directed by Richard Lester ("A Hard
Day’s Night") and written by Charles Wood ("The Charge Of The Light Brigade"),
Cuba is an exciting and "intelligent thriller" (Roger Ebert).
Havana, Cuba.
1959. A tropical island paradise is on the brink of revolution. Robert Dapes
(Connery), a cynical British mercenary, comes to the country at the request of
one of Batista’s most corrupt functionaries, General Bello (Martin Balsam). But
once there, Dapes finds himself unable to ignore the brutality and depravity of
the Batista regime - and unable to resist Alexandra Pulido (Adams), an old lover
now married to a wealthy Cuban landowner.
Surrounded by volatile guerilla
fighters and the human vultures present at all coups, he must come to terms with
his shifting views if he has any thought of getting out...alive.
