From Sydney Pollack, the outstanding director of They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, The Yakuza, Three Days of the Condor, Absence of Malice, Tootsie and The Firm, comes this epic drama set in pre-Castro Cuba. High-rolling poker player Jack Weil (Robert Redford, The Natural) is trying to make one big score in 1958 Havana, a pleasure-seeker’s paradise on the verge of revolution.
