The film is made of found film sequences which touch the themes of paranoia, the cold war and the Vietnam war.

This film continues to explore the psychological impact upon the individual that began with Castle 1, this time by approaching military and industrial complexities. Like Castle 1, much use is made of newsreel montage.

This film is more thematic and narrative than Castle 1, but still relies on formal devices, which build up to a fast barrage of images: the two screens further split - to give 4 separate images at once for one sequence. Certain key images and sounds emerge and repeat themselves within the film.

“The alienation of the viewer's involvement does not occur as often in this film as in Castle 1, but the concern with the viewer's experience of his present location still determines the structure of certain passages in the film” (Malcolm Le Grice, London Film-Makers' Co-operative catalogue, 1968).
