The Patriot (2000)


A former hero of the French/Indian War, Benjamin Martin has renounced fighting
forever to raise his family in peace. Although once a wily and ferocious soldier, he
marries a fine woman who bears him seven children and, under her influence, trades
his violent past for a peaceful future on his sprawling plantation. But rebellion is
brewing--another conflict with Britain is inevitable. Recently widowed, his goals
change. He's the sole caretaker of his brood, and the horrors of past combat haunt him
still. Benjamin's eldest son, Gabriel, harbors no doubts about going to war: the radical
speeches and newsletters that began in the cities and traverse the Colonies have
made an impression on him. War is coming, and Gabriel feels the cause is just. In
defiance of his father, he joins the fight. Benjamin is conflicted--as stalwart as he is in
his opposition to the war, he believes in the cause. When the British arrive, the
reluctant hero discovers that he must join the nation's war to protect his family.
