 The emotionally
charged adventure "The Patriot" tells the story of
Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson), a reluctant hero who is swept into
the American Revolution when the war reaches his farm and the
British endanger what he holds most dear. He takes up arms alongside
his idealistic patriot son, Gabriel, and leads a rebel American
Militia into battle against a relentless and overwhelming Redcoat
army. In the process, he discovers that the only way to protect
his family is to fight for a young nation's liberty. But his
dark past haunts him.
Roland Emmerich directs this Revolutionary War drama, written
by Robert Rodat, who wrote the screenplay for Saving
Private Ryan. The Patriot is being touted as bringing those
who fought in the Revolutionary War into our awareness in much
the same way that Saving Private Ryan did for those who fought
in WWII.
