Captain Khorshid (Persian: ناخدا خورشید, romanized: Nakhoda Khorshid) is a 1987 Iranian film written and directed by Nasser Taghvai. It is based on Ernest Hemingway's 1937 novel To Have and Have Not, but it moves the setting from Cuba to the south of Iran and the shores of the Persian Gulf. All the events of the film are nationalized.
It is considered one of the greatest Iranian films by critics.
