In America, can a man be guilty until proven innocent? Suppose you picked up this morning's newspaper and your life was a front page headline... and everything they said was accurate but not true. This is the dilemma that must be faced in this timely drama about the incredible power of the press. Michael Gallagher (played by Paul Newman in an Oscar-nominated role) reads in the paper that he is the subject of a criminal investigation. Suddenly, everything he has ever worked for is in jeopardy. He confronts the author, Megan Carter (Sally Field), a relentless investigative reporter. Together they learn that the story was purposely leaked to Carter as part of a plot by the chief investigator. Gallagher's life hangs in the balance as he and Carter try to uncover the truth.

A gambler who trusted no one… A woman who risked everything… And a passion that brought them together in the most dangerous city in the world! 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. But his plan doesn’t include falling for Roberta (Lena Olin, Romeo Is Bleeding), the beautiful, enigmatic wife of revolutionary Arturo Duran (Raul Julia, The Addams Family). After Arturo is removed by the police, Jack is drawn closer to Roberta, who ignites a passion that threatens his last chance for the big score. The top-notch cast includes Alan Arkin (The In-Laws), Tomas Milian (The Big Gundown), Richard Farnsworth (The Grey Fox), Tony Plana (¡Three Amigos!), Mark Rydell (The Long Goodbye) and Dennis Farina (Manhunter).
