Cuba, 1958: Revolution is in the air! In his final year, Errol Flynn is looking for one last adventure. The dashing infamous star of many Hollywood blockbusters yearns to be a real hero. Fidel Castro craves fame, and who better than Errol to show him the way? At the height of the revolution, the two men are drawn together by a mysterious woman. But who is really calling the shots? Errol, Fidel the mysterious woman, or just maybe, the CIA is really pulling all the strings. Fueled by lust, vanity and envy - who knew revolution could be so much fun.
Errol and Fidel stars Jonathan Stewart as Errol and George Psomas as Fidel with Alan M-L Wager, Sydia Cedeno, Ryan Bauer-Walsh, Claire Saunders, Cole Grissom, Jon Cooper, Alex Drost, Kaitlyn Frank, Rashaan James Ii, Maiza Miller, and Alexandria Van Paris.
