Roland Emmerich's explosive historical epic sees Mel Gibson take the fight to the evil Brits once again, this time for the home side in America's War of Independence. When the invading British militia show no mercy to his family, farmer Benjamin Martin (Gibson) takes up arms alongside his eldest son (Heath Ledger) to do his duty as a patriot... and pursue his own vengeful cause. Saving Private Ryan writer Robert Rodat pens another rousing adventure.
