A stunningly insightful look into the 638 alleged plots to assassinate the Cuban federal leader during his tenure in office.

Fans of classic Hollywood spy movies will be amazed by these real life tales of Cuban exiles who plotted against the ruler that banished them, undertaking sometimes elaborate conspiracies to execute the President of Cuba. But that's not all. Posing a potential threat to American national security, Castro inspired attempts on his life by the U.S. Government as well. Skeptics who believe that the CIA doesn't have imagination, take note: the methods documented in the film include exploding cigars, femme fatales, booby-trapped buildings and disguised, poison-filled syringes. It is said that President Kennedy, in search of a solution by any means necessary, asked Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, for advice on how to do away with the world's most wanted socialist. But that wasn't the last time the affair extended all the way to the White House, with the film even tying the Bush family into an assassination plot. Utilizing a barrage of footage from TV newsreels, old film clips and even home videos of Castro, filmmaker Dollan Cannell serves up this wild collection of conspiracy stories with a voiceover packed with dry wit.
