Steven Soderbergh's The Argentine stars Benicio Del Toro as Che Guevara.

The film opens with Che as one of the important figures in the growing Cuban rebellion led by Fidel Castro. The movie charts how the two successfully built an underground army large enough to successfully overthrow the government of Fulgencio Batista. Soderbergh and Del Toro team up again for a second biopic of Guevara titled Guerrilla, a movie that focuses on his life in the years after the Cuban revolution. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide,

Che GUEVARA | The argentine & Guerilla

November 26, 1956; led by Fidel Castro (Demian Bichir), a band of 80 rebels sails to Cuba. Among these young rebels is Argentine physician, Marxist, soldier, Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Benicio Del Toro). Nation-less, strapped for resources and fueled only by determination, the group engages in swift, bloody battle to free the Cuban people from the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Che and his soldiers wrestle the nation's resources and affection from Batista's grasp. Though considered a hero by some, Che becomes a hugely controversial figure. At the height of his fame and power, he disappears. Entering South America incognito, Che recruits another band of guerilla fighters in the harsh Bolivian jungles. They embark upon a mission to spark revolution throughout Latin America.

The Traffic director will shoot two movies about the life of the iconic Argentine-born revolutionary. In addition to Guerrilla, which was announced earlier this year, Soderbergh will make another film called The Argentine, reported Variety. Benicio Del Toro will play Guevara in both movies. Javier Bardem, Franka Potente and Benjamin Bratt are in talks to play key roles. The Argentine will focus on the Cuban revolution, from the moment Fidel Castro, Guevara and other revolutionaries landed on the Caribbean island until they toppled the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista two years later. Guerrilla will focus on the years following the Cuban revolution beginning with Guevara's trip to the UN headquarters in New York in 1964, until his death in the Bolivian mountains in 1967. Soderbergh will shoot Guerrilla and The Argentine back to back, with most of the dialogue in Spanish.
