New York trapper Tom Dobb becomes an unwilling participant in the American Revolution after his son Ned is drafted into the Army by the villainous Sergeant Major Peasy. Tom attempts to find his son, and eventually becomes convinced that he must take a stand and fight for the freedom of the Colonies, alongside the aristocratic rebel Daisy McConnahay. As Tom undergoes his change of heart, the events of the war unfold in large-scale grandeur.

I respect the filmmakers for undercutting the mythos of the revolutionary war. This is like the antithesis of The Patriot (compliment.) However, it’s a pretty boring slog and Al Pacino can’t hold an accent. This has knocked me out of my period piece phase.
