The first film in Steven Soderberghs two-part Che Guevara epic tracks the charismatic revolutionary as he joins Fidel Castros band of Cuban exiles and journeys to the shore of Mexico in 1956. Within two years, this small team of rebels had mobilized popular support, recruited an army and toppled the U.S.-friendly regime of dictator Fulgencio Batista. It was the beginning of a crucial period of Cuban history and the birthplace of an extraordinary individual, who would go on to inspire generations to come.

A labour of love for director Stephen Soderbergh (TRAFFIC, OCEANS ELEVEN) and winner of the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival 2008, Benicio del Toro gives a career-defining performance as Che.

  • People on here all talk about their opinions of Che, but have any of them lived in a Latin American country all their lives? Maybe if they had, they would understand why Che was so desperate to free his people from the clutches of the USA.

    I am sorry if my English is not so good.

  • Che is admired by many people in the USA, skinskin86. Neg comments are by two kinds of folks. Those who disagree with socialism out of principle. (Although, I agree with you. Latin America has a diff. founding history than the USA and socialism would def. benefit many of those countries.) And, then there is the cuban exile community + possibly old CIA'ers who want to discredit Che with out of context factoids, half-truths and outright lies.

    Viva Che Viva Marx and Viva Lenin.

  • @skinskins86 sorry to hear that

    im an american and i dont know how bad it is down there

    but i have a pretty good idea thanks

  • People have to be accept that as a species we can't move on unless we abandon the way we rule ourselves now (talkin about the governents) and evolve to a greater single "country" THE EARTH. The and only then the true and pure nature and ingenuity of the human race will accomplish miracles in every aspect known and unknown to us now and in future. But that won't hapen soon beacose we have to change the way we think and that is called a evolution.

  • @SALonghorn I get frustrated completely with those who have no common sense. The left have been having their way with the media and they are always the ones doing the talking. No more. I've had enough. So I throw the truth out there. The left cannot handle it. I used to be on the left awhile back. For that I am truely sorry to our country and the rest of the world. I've awakened and now I'm pissed for being sold a bill of goods from them. Thats all there is to it

  • @SuperGuitarman69

    Well that's the end of this conversation.

    "then shut your fucking mouth about the middle east." classy

  • @SALonghorn Yes drill here. If no? then shut your fucking mouth about the middle east. Oil drives commerce. the price of gasoline could end our economy. Fidel? Yeah remember the Cuban missle crisis? Could've been a Nuclear war 90 miles from our coastline killing millions of Americans. Russia put them there but the sweet and loving Castro allowed it. Yes, Castro needed killing back then. Now? He keeps his stupid mouth shut. So he can have his piss Utopia in the carribean

  • @SuperGuitarman69

    Now the conversation is starting to become a right vs left, and that's boring.

    Drill here? No thanx, I'd rather have Chavez or the Saudi Prince cleaning their waters for the next 50 years. And you want to deny that the CIA hasn't tried to kill Fidel 600+ times? Felix Rod admitted to several himself. The Guatemala coup was shameful when Che was there.

    Thankfully that US-owned governments policy is long dead today.
