One of those rebels is Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Benicio Del Toro), an Argentine doctor who shares a common goal with Fidel Castro—to overthrow the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Che proves indispensable as a fighter, and quickly grasps the art of guerrilla warfare. As he throws himself into the struggle, Che is embraced by his comrades and the Cuban people. Che's rise in the Cuban Revolution, from doctor to commander to revolutionary hero, is documented. After the Cuban Revolution, Che is at the height of his fame and power. Then he disappears, re-emerging incognito in Bolivia, where he organizes a small group of Cuban comrades and Bolivian recruits to start the great Latin American Revolution.

Without a country, short of resources and fueled only by its determination, the group fights merciless and bloody battles in order to free the Cuban people from the yoke of the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Che and his soldiers struggle to wrest the nation's resources and affection from Batista's grasp. Although considered a hero by some, Che became a highly controversial personality.

He then disappears, to resurface incognito in Bolivia where he sets up a small group of Cuban comrades and Bolivian recruits to set in motion the great Latin American revolution. The story of the Bolivian campaign is one of tenacity, sacrifices, idealism and a guerrilla warfare that ultimately fails and thus signs the death of Che. Through this story, we understand why Che remains a symbol of idealism and heroism that still survives in the hearts of people around the world.
