Cuba was a 1979 film starring Sean Connery set during the build up to the 1959 Cuban Revolution.

Connery starred as a British mercenary who returns to Cuba, which is on the brink of revolution with the authority of dictator Fulgencio Batista collapsing every day. Connery meets a former lover there (Brooke Adams), who is neglected by her Cuban husband (Chris Sarandon). The film ends with Havana falling to Fidel Castro's revolutionaries.

It was similar in premise and tone to Havana starring Robert Redford.
