American Revolution drama in which a widowed farmer (Mel Gibson) forms a regiment of Carolina patriots, whose guerrilla tactics prove pivotal to the US war effort.

He has a brave but brutal military past, yet decides not to join up when the British arrive in 1776.

However, when his son (Heath Ledger) enlists and is later captured by the enemy, the former soldier must abandon his new-found pacifist principles in order to rescue his oldest child.
