The Uprising is a gritty, historical epic inspired by the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. The film tells the story of a humble farmer, played by Andrew Garfield, who is driven to rebel against an unfair system that keeps him and his ilk in serfdom. The story follows Garfield's character as he ignites the fire of insurrection, which quickly sweeps the land, prompting bloody confrontations with the king's forces. The film features a star-studded ensemble, including Stephen Dillane, Katherine Waterston, and Cosmo Jarvis, and is directed by Paul Greengrass, known for his work on the Jason Bourne franchise and films like United 93 and Captain Phillips. The Uprising is a nerve-jangling thriller that brings the past into the present and makes you think and feel.
