Description

In 1776 South Carolina, widower and legendary war hero Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) finds himself thrust into the midst of the American Revolutionary War as he helplessly watches his family torn apart by the savage forces of the British Redcoats. Unable to remain silent, he recruits a band of reluctant volunteers, including his idealistic patriot son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger), to take up arms against the British. Fighting to protect his family's freedom and his country's independence, Martin discovers the pain of betrayal, the redemption of revenge and the passion of love.

  • Correction of Library Icons, Please

    4
    By Another Beatles Listener
    Perhaps those in charge of such matters could show enough respect for audiences — and for a corporation’s own properties — to generate the correct icon for this or that version of this or that film . . . Robin Hood; The Hobbit; The Lord of the Rings; The Patriot [2000]; Star Trek II . . . the respective icons, for standard versions versus extended versions, are unbelievably chaotic and erroneous. Everything is everywhere, and apparently no one can be bothered about it; what a shame, concerning many entertaining films whose icons merely ruin most attempts to care about having a film library. Five stars for the present film, if the present version would receive its own library icon; four stars for now.

    Fantastic acting. Great story. Long, but never boring. If you're a fan of the war movies, this is the best one ever made in my opinion.

    This is one of Mel Gibson's two best movies. The other, of course, being Braveheart. "The Patriot" is truly an amazing movie. It's Rotten Tomatoes score should be more like 95% than 61%. There is not a boring moment in the nearly 3 hour movie...not one. The time flies by because it is constantly entertaining. It is an incredible drama with funny, touching moments as well. There has never been a better movie made about the American Revolution. I cannot say enough good things about this film. The acting is also amazing. It's on e of the greats!

    This is a well told story. Great directing. Great acting. Great cinematography. This is in my opinion Gibson's best film. Heath Ledger gives a wonderful performance that catapulted him to center stage. I can't say enough good things about this film. I watch this every year on Independence Day.

    Easily one of Mel Gibson's best films, The Patriot takes a man who has seen much blood shed and puts him right in the middle of the most important fight ever: Independence for the American Colonies. Buy this, it's great
