Mission Against Terror Mission Against Terror, provides a thorough understanding of the struggle for the "Cuban Five" - Cuban men imprisoned in the United States since Sept. 12, 1998 for infiltrating the Miami based anti-Cuba organizations. Much of the film’s beginning revolves around an interview with Philip Agee, former CIA agent and notable dissenter, as he discusses the subversive activities that the CIA planned in the 1960s. The movie then moves to the Cuban Five and the 90s, when US sponsored terrorist groups bombed Cuban hotels and the Tropicana nightclub. The film notes, for example, the case of Orlando Bosch, the mastermind behind the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner. Bosch took refuge in the U.S., received a presidential pardon from George H.W. Bush, and today lives as a free man in Miami.
