Part One is entitled The Argentine and focuses on the Cuban Revolution from the landing of Fidel Castro , Guevara, and other revolutionaries in Cuba to their successful toppling of Fulgencio Batista 's dictatorship two years later. Part Two is entitled Guerrilla and focuses on Guevara's attempt to bring revolution to Bolivia and his demise.

Filmmaker Terrence Malick originally worked on a screenplay limited to Guevara's attempts to start a revolution in Bolivia.
