The Patriot Movie 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. In 1763, the lengthy French and Indian War ended. England controlled Canada and all the territory between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River. In many ways, the men who lived on and fought for this land had stronger ties to it and to each other than to Britain. The hardy settlers formed Great Britain's 13 colonies in the New World. After years of warfare, they reclaim their ordinary lives in the burgeoning cities and countryside. Benjamin Martin is one of these men. Once a ferocious warrior, he's made a hero by his comrades, but leaves his brutality behind him and returns to patriot, war, martin, benjamin, young, past, men, emmerich, colonies, battle, acts, winning, wild, while, south, son, screenplay, roland, production, producers, oscar®, new, man, hero, gabriel, film, fight, family, england, designer, come, cities, children, carolina, british
