DocumentaryDramaWar134 min

In 1956, Ernesto “Che” Guevara joins Fidel Castro’s Cuban exiles and helps build the guerrilla campaign to overthrow dictator Fulgencio Batista. Benicio Del Toro is Che, following the Argentine doctor as he becomes a commander in a war fought with scarce supplies, uneasy alliances, and a small rebel force. Steven Soderbergh tracks the campaign through skirmishes, shortages, and political maneuvering, with Julia Ormond and Oscar Isaac among the ensemble.
