Epic romance set against the backdrop of Cuba in 1958. With the first signs of revolutionary rumblings hitting the beleagured but ever-romantic Havana, gambler Jack Weil (Robert Redford) arrives in the city for the biggest card game of his life. Instead, he finds himself caught up in the insurgence against dictator Fulgencio Batista with the beautiful and enigmatic Roberta Duran (Lena Olin), her marriage to leading revolutionary Arturo Duran (Raul Julia) adding to the danger that has suddenly engulfed his life.
