This second episode begins with the Cuban revolution under Fidel Castro and subsequent revolutions exported to South America by Castro's charismatic revolutionary Che Guevara.
Che's revolutionary ideas lived on after his death through his popular writings. The story continues from the pivotal year of 1968 when revolutionary fervours of various sorts spread throughout the US and Europe. The episode then looks closely at the German terrorist group called the Baader-Meinhof Group and its Italian counterpart, the Red Brigade. From Europe the story moves to Peru and the group called The Shining Path. From Peru, the terrorism has now spread and mingled into the drug war culture of Colombia.

This third episode charts the rise of the most frightening and unstoppable terror groups in history: the religious terrorists. Contributors ranging from the spiritual leaders of religious terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah to former Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel, reveal how terrorist atrocities by both Jewish and Islamic extremists over the past three decades have transformed the battle for land in the Middle East into a Holy War which threatens to engulf the world.
The film begins with the simultaneous hijacking of four Western passenger airlines in Jordan in September 1970, and ends with the attack by Islamic radicals on the U.S. in September 2001

This final episode examines potentially the most dangerous terror of all--that which is backed by the full force of the state. While Iranian, Libyan, and Iraqi sponsorship of terror is now well accepted, it is less often said that democratic governments have also been tempted to follow the same route against their enemies.
The film reveals the extent of American backing of the Contras in Nicaragua. Another aspect of terrorism is illustrated by the terrible human tragedies resulting from Argentinaʼs Dirty War of the late ʽ70s and ʽ80s. In concluding, the film briefly returns to the Middle East. Finally, we look at the lessons to be learnt from the Age of Terror for governments, the terrorists, and us ordinary citizens.
Actual footage of the events and interviews with many of the surviving terrorists provide a profound, multi-sided examination of the story of terrorism.
