Cuban Fury is a 2014 British romantic comedy film directed by James Griffiths, written by Jon Brown, and starring Nick Frost, Rashida Jones and Chris O'Dowd.^[4] The film was a minor box office success but received mixed reviews from critics.

Bruce Garrett, a former teen salsa champion with his sister Sam, is now an engineer. Bruce gave up dancing after he was brutally bullied and traumatised by older boys on his way to the National finals.

25 years later, after Bruce has a meet cute moment with his new American boss, Julia, he hears she is passionate about salsa dancing. So, he decides that the only way he can win her over is by re-mastering the art of dance. He seeks out his old teacher Ron, who forces him to confront the reasons he quit dancing in the first place.

Bruce struggles with low self-esteem due to his weight, as well as his constantly bullying coworker and rival, Drew. He continually dominates Julia's attention, a romantic interest for Bruce but strictly sexual for Drew.

With the help of his salsa classmates, teacher, and his former dancing partner, his sister Sam, Bruce gets up the courage to relearn all his 'rusty' dance steps and to recapture his lost "corazón" (heart), not only for the dance but for his life.

Convinced by his classmate Bejan to go to a salsa club, Bruce is given a mini makeover at home. The transformation includes shaving his chest hair and use a bronzer. At the club there are more people from the class. As Bruce is dancing with his instructor, Ron openly criticizes his passionless move. Incensed by the bullying, he greatly improves, but when seeing Drew with Julia on the dance floor is dejected. His salsa friends see the deflated Bruce leaving.

Thanks to Ron seeing Bruce at the club, he agrees to train Bruce. Again encouraging him with mild bullying, Ron pushes him hard until he starts to see results. Bruce has a mini dance-off with Drew at their lunch break, giving him a burst of self-confidence.

When ready, Bruce's friends convince him to enter the local nightclub's salsa dance competition, with the idea that he'll invite Julia to be his dance partner. But when he goes round to hers to ask her out to the dance, he is tricked into believing that he's interrupting an intimate evening she's spending with Drew, so leaves before asking, disillusioned.

Julia, meanwhile, discovers what Drew is up to and outright rejects his advances, then kicks him out whilst threatening his position at work. Julia discovers the salsa mixtape was from him, not Drew so follows Bruce to the nightclub. There he's been doing quite well with Sam and an old routine, and is about to enter the final heat/round of the competition.

When he notices Julia had followed him to the club, he's elated and finally plucks up the courage to ask her to dance. They dance the last round of the competition, where Bruce goes on to lose the competition, but regains his true self and finally wins Julia's heart.
