Che Part One: Argentine, is a 2008 film starring Benicio del Toro in the title role and was directed by Steven Soderbergh. The film was first screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May, 2008, earning Del Toro the Festival's best actor award. It was later divided into two parts, Part 1, called The Argentine being released in the United States on December 12, 2008 to qualify it for the Academy Awards. Both parts were put into wider release in January 2009. The first part, The Argentine, follows Che Guevara through the Cuban Revolution against Fulgencio Batista, and the second, Che Part Two: Guerrilla, is the story of the failed revolution in Bolivia.
The following guns were used in the movie Che Part One: Argentine
Ramiro Valdes (Vladimir Cruz) carries an FN FAL. His version appears to be the "G Series", modified for civilian use by the U.S.
M1903A3 Springfield
One of Camilo Cienfuegos' (Santiago Cabrera) men carries an M1903A3 Springfield during the attack on the Moncada Barracks, where he is killed in action. Camilio uses the Springfield when his Thompson runs out of ammunition.
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand is the standard weapon of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara's band of rebels, as well as the Cuban Army.
M1 Carbine
Also carried by the rebels and Cuban Army is the M1 Carbine.
An M20 "Super Bazooka" is carried by the rebels. Che Guevara (Benicio del Toro) uses it to detonate a weapons cache, and it is used by a rebel soldier to knock out an M4 Sherman in Santa Clara.
