What happens

Havana is a 1990 American drama film starring Robert Redford, Lena Olin, and Alan Arkin, directed by Sydney Pollack with music by Dave Grusin. The film's plot concerns Jack Weil (Redford), an American professional gambler who decides to visit Havana, Cuba in 1958 on the eve of the Cuban Revolution. Most reviews were not positive, and the film suffered the first major box office deficit of Redford's career. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
