The Lost City (2005 film)

The Lost City is a 2005 American drama film directed and co-produced by Andy García. It stars García, Dustin Hoffman, Inés Sastre and Bill Murray. The film depicts the story of Fico Fellove, a wealthy nightclub owner in Havana and his family whose lives are disrupted by the Cuban Revolution. Attempting to remain apolitical, Fellove's family becomes divided when his brothers join the Marxist rebels in their fight against the Batista regime.

The film was a passion project for García, who immigrated from Cuba to Miami at the start of Fidel Castro's rule, and had been trying to make the film for 16 years. It was filmed in the Dominican Republic instead of Cuba, as García was denied entry to the country due to his criticism of Castro. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized the screenplay, direction and the depiction of historical events. It bombed at the box office, making $4.4 million on a $9.6 million budget.
