A widowed farmer, with a brave but brutal military past, decides not to join up when the British arrive in 1776. However, when his son 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, and forms a regiment of Carolina patriots, whose guerrilla tactics prove pivotal to the US war effort.

When he’s running with the flag he looks at each man individually like it’s each man’s responsibility to hold that line. I just love that.
It is
It *IS* each man's responsibility - good eye!
It is each man's responsibility and always will be. God bless those men in the fight for freedom 🙏 🇺🇸
And that from an Aussie.
Very stirring no doubt👍👍
3:33 nobody talks about the regulars holding down while the militia retreats. What a bunch of legends…
And as far as I can tell, we don't see them again. They took on that whole charge. Salute 🇺🇲
I was wondering that too what y’all think 2-3 companies or a whole battalion allegedly sacrificed to pull off the strategy
high probability they were ordered to hold briefly before being told to retreat to the flanks to act as skirmishers while waiting for the counter attack to rejoin them
No bayonets no qcb
“They had green eyes.”
Such a small character moment but it’s so good.
Husband to a murdered wife, father to the murdered daughters...
and he will have his revenge, in this life or the next.
It may not be historically accurate, but holy hell is it epic.
Battle of cow pens
@@kodyhuff39 and Guilford Courthouse.
It is reasonably accurate.
The fact that it is complete fiction makes it garbage
@@luciusquinctiuscincinnatus505 The Patriot is historical fiction...a story, but virtually ALL inspired by things that are straight from the historical accounts.
"Bayonets!"
The universal order for "it's about to get fuckin' nasty"
I couldn’t imagine how horrible a charge would be. In medieval times I would feel a little better with a shield and armor, but charging like that, dam. And you never know if the guy you try to charge has reloaded his musket and can just shoot you. And triangular wounds from bayonets are hard to stitch.
@@orotewilderness2913 There were tactics to either intimidate or trick someone into shooting early to minimize losing men on the way in, at least. The British were especially good at it. It literally took 3 years of fighting for the Continentals to stop a full British bayonet charge in the open field.
“Shits about to hit the fan fam!!!” 😂😂😂
Although this final battle scene is a merging of the events of battles of Cowpens and Guildford Courthouse, it still makes for one terrifically brilliant action sequence.
Tavington, DAMN HIM! DAMN THAT MAN! That part always get me 🤣
"We will see who takes the glory from this battlefield!" 😅
Fucking Tavington, I swear
"Congratulations my lord."
@@Chex2331 “Infantry reserve into the center”
@@michaelpontbriant6160"But my lord you've taken the field"
Imagine being on the battlefield and seeing Redcoats flee en masse. Must've been the most morale boosting sight to have beheld their eyes in years.
Imagine being british thinking you’re fighting other British people on another continent when in fact youre mostly fighting the french, dutch and spanish. In fact mostly the french lol
Not before Saratoga, and not at this battle. (Cowpens)
@@colonelturmeric558not true at all. The French main role was supplying weapons and gun powder as well as naval support. Most of the men were American. 90 percent of the fighters were American. The Spanish did some fighting also. But it definitely not the British fighting French and Spanish all the time. It would be rare.
Only a few nations in the world ever saw it happen
@@colonelturmeric558You know a lot about history. I read your comments and you are right. Do you study history at college? Where are you from?
I absolutely loved the Patriot when I was a kid, and still do. I probably watched it at too young of an age because of the brutality, but none the less it was one of my favorite movies of my childhood. I use to do re-enactments in the backyard based on the movie and I even did some with my friends. I showed them this scene to they could know what we were doing. Such great memories. I still watch the movie every once in a while.
Same bro
Same
The Patriot is my favourite film, along with Braveheart, The Lord of The Rings, and The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc.
Maybe so but this movie still slandered the British side. The American Revolution wasn't a good vs evil conflict!
The movie is full of disinformation.
I know this is highly inaccurate but you gotta give Mel Gibson props, he knows how to make a good patriotic American movie
It would be boring if every historical movie was accurate. We gotta have out fun, feel-good stories every once in a while
@@jamalwilburn228mate there can absolutely be historically accurate films that are entertaining, look at saving private Ryan
@@jamalwilburn228 yeah but you can do it without making up a load of bollocks that's so inaccurate that it's just offensive
I'm not undermining Mel's performance, but Roland Emmerich deserves a lot of credit as he was the director; especially since most of his movies are far cries from The Patriot (nonetheless entertaining)
Would be boring if you had a democrat doing his role
Mel Gibson. Single-handedly winning independence for both Scotland and the United States. Dude's had quite an impact on world history.
This battle was based on a true strategy of the Battle of Cowpens. Militia went up acting tough the British came thought they were retreating and a whole another army was waiting on the other side of the hill!
similar to the british waterloo tactic
It was Cowpens and Guilford Courthouse battles merged into one
Yeah they used a pincer movement, also known as a double envelopment. They lured the British into the killing fields at point blank range via tricking them into thinking they were retreating. By chasing after them, the Americans outflanked them and surrounded the British. Guilford Courthouse was more of a draw, but it proved that the British were not going to be able to keep advancing. Cornwallis retreated to Yorktown, where he hoped to be reinforced by sea and have an army sent to him from New York by Henry Clinton, who stubbornly refused to march from there to give aid. Once the French arrived and successfully cleared Chesapeake Bay of the British Navy, Cornwallis couldn’t escape by sea, and the reinforcements of Washington’s army from the north completely overwhelmed the remaining British Army forces besieged at Yorktown. They held out for a month before realizing the fight was lost. That’s when they surrendered.
Yup. Washington's nephew, I believe it was, led a cavalry charge down the hill at the same time the Virginian militia that was "retreating in panic" suddenly turned and fired pointblank into the British pursuing them.
Similar thing happened at the Battle Of Hastings centuries prior. English shield wall held tight and the Normans couldn't break it and when they fell back the Saxons tried charging after them. The feigned flight worked twice apparently and Harold lost both of his brothers who were told not to pursue the Normans.
It helped weaken the English forces and of course King Harold fell which ended the battle and changed world history.
Always brings a tear to my eye. Rest In Peace Revolutionary War veterans.
On both sides.
Fly high
I'm a veteran from the revolutionary war.
You are damn right!!!!!!! Viva La France!
A bunch of them are buried in what is today Washington Sq in Philadelphia.
Finally an upload of the battle not cutting its pacing short.
“Sir why are we letting them fire?”
“Shut the fuck up jerry this is a great strategy”
When I was little I use to lie awake and night thinking how if I was on either side I’d just lie down flat on the ground when the other side fired 💀💀
It's insanity for insane people
The Japanese developed better strategy to offset the long reload of muzzleloaders. Each row would take turns firing while the other reloads to ensure a constant stream of shots. It was best demonstrated at the battle of Nagashino, which happened around 200 years before the revolution war.
@@OldToothbrush0210 yeah... that's not really a Japanese strategy. A ton of places came up with the same idea. Line infantry. It was used back with bowmen as well, long before guns were a thing. Like even Lord of the Rings they do it in the battle of Helm's Deep, where Aragorn has different lines fire at different times to make a constant firing of arrows. But with the weapons being so inaccurate, and militia being mostly untrained, and there not being that many men in the stretched-out line for them to have several rows of soldiers, line infantry strategy wouldn't have worked well for the militia here.
@@OldToothbrush0210 Which makes no sense to mention though.... if you know much at all about military history, huge differences between matchlock tangegashimas and the flintlock brown besses & Kentucky rifles here. The reload time of the guns you're mentioning are completely different to this period, which in 200 years came a long way, and in the late 16th and early 17th century that is exactly the tactics used in Europe... ridiculous to use them at this point though.
At 5:40 far right corner the British soldier rolled his eyes and shook his head ive never noticed that 😂
@ckv18 I thought it was funny as well, his expression is saying: "For goodness sake, not again."
😂😂
😂😂
Only noticed it now since you pointed it out lol
Good catch but I think he was just ringing out the noise out his head..
this movie is probably what got me into history when i was young, as an adult, i know this entire thing is just fiction, but hey it still got me invested in history, and is an damn good film regardless
Please explain how a propaganda piece that tries to whitewash history is a good movie?!
Such a claim is very damning especially from one who is interested in history!
Same
Not entirely fiction. Benjamin Martin is based on a guy named Francis Marion (the swamp fox or the ghost in this movie) that lead successful guerilla movements throughout the south. Culminating in the battle of Cowpens, which the strategy in the final battle of the movie was based on. Tavington is based on a British officer named Bannister Tarleton, famously brutal dragoon known for killing soldiers after they surrendered. He returnes to England and served in parliament where he argued for the continuation of the slave trade into the nineteenth century.
A lot of the movie is silly, but I maintain it is not as inaccurate as people make it out to be. Most of the innacuracy is to do with race and slaves in the movie.
@@lesserson2182
You should know that the validy of Taleton's reputation is still a matter of discussion. For example that case of his men butchering Colonial prisoners supposedly happened due to some of the Colonials faking surrender.
Also The Patriot misses a ton of other stuff too! Like the Loyalists and their motivations along with romantisicing the militia.
The movie misses out pretty much everything, hence why so many americans believe that it was a huge feat. In reality, there were so many factors to consider for the brits. Was more of a french, dutch and spanish achievement, and most brits had no stomach for the war at the time because the contemporary view was that american colonists were still british. The brits were also outnumbered, and funnily enough the americans weren’t guerilla masters. Washington wanted a european army, the british were more adept at irregular warfare. They had to be, because they had less men after the first year or so of the conflict. There’s a hell of a lot wrong with this film, the same as many “historical” films.
This movie is more than 20 years old, and yet looks better and more realistic than Ridley Scott's 'Napoleon'.
💯
His movie was utter shit
@@milesbennet4572 true
I still haven't seen Napoleon and I'm absolutely terrified to.
@@maxrocketansky Same here !
can we honestly take our hats off to the flag carrier at 4:57 who takes an utter ground pounding
He knew his job was dangerous but yet he still took it. Fking legend.
I always see that and think I hope he survived and assimilated into the American life as a badass
@@bullgravy6906 more than likely he either died of his wounds, or survived and went back to Britain
RIP Tom Wilkinson. So good as Cornwallis
And Ben Franklin in HBO’s John Adams
@@TrooperClerkMan's playing double agent. If the Patriots win, he becomes President of Pennsylvania, if the British win, he gets a military decoration and perhaps some land.
Its sad that there are not enough good napoleonic or flintlock era films.....i know these films need a high budget but they are epic
Napoleon comes out soonish, lets hope it's not to hollywoody
@@DelogrosHello there. I'm from the future. And I'm afraid I got some bad news.
@@daskriegsman7013Don't worry, I heard, it's sad to think I was vaguely hopeful
I know I'm a bit late to this... but yeah, when it comes to films like this, in order to truly get them right, you need the reenactors that know this stuff like the back of their hand. The Patriot is not a bad period piece by any stretch, but if you wanna reduce your costs, and use reenactors, you better be doing a true Historical Drama on the scale of Gettysburg, or you'll have a hard time convincing them.
The reason being is actually quite simple: If you make a film based on an actual conflict, and throw in events that didn't happen, the reenactors will ignore the casting call, because they know what's at stake when these films are made (how many people to this day believed the British burned a church full of civilians because of this film?). The men and women that do living history do it to make sure history isn't forgotten. And the best way to do it, is to show it. As it happened. With minimal breaks in disbelief.
2:45 no sane person would throw away his spyglass like that
That’s just it. He’s insane.
For some reason the line "Artillery, concentrate on the centre. Drive them back." has been stuck in my head for 23 years.
Rest in Peace Tom Wikison deeply be missed 🙏🙏💔💔😢
This was the first movie I remember seeing the cannonballs fly in, and not just random explosions on the ground, as in previous war movies.
Same that was my first war movie also
If your still watching this movie..Your a legend!!
I am 😊🙏
Legendary clueless that is due to still watching a propaganda piece like this.
nope 🥱
@@Pikkabuuyet here it is... as a part of your search and watch history. Go cry about it in the corner
For such an inaccurate movie, the battle scenes are honestly really good.
Meh, too close.
@@dickizzinya9085I've heard musket fire. Hella bass.
Best comment so far, terrible movie, but costumes/action is good
@@sirscrotumit's historical fiction. That doesn't make it a bad movie. You history snobs are honestly some of the most obnoxious people out there.
Great battle scene especially the part where Mel Gibson grabs the flag and motivates the American Soldiers to keep fighting. I understand they dramatized this battle but in reality the Battle of Cowpens was a quick and decisive American victory
My favorite part is when that British soldier holding the flag got flipped lol😂
Oh yea this funny
Yeah, I imagine the dialogue:
-what weapons are you bringing to the battle?
-a musket
-a bayonet
-a flag
@@jimmyboy414where's the scene ?
@@flyingtofu8074 4:57
Fun fact: The black soldiers among the british in fact are historically accurate. British recruited them with the promise of freedom, as they were often runaway slaves. And unlike the colonials, they kept that promise after the war.
Hoe could the Americans lie about that when i never heard of them making a similar promise, and George washington opposed having black soldiers, though that didnt stop them. There was a division of free black soldiers in the continental army. George Washington was convicted by Hamilton to use them in the final assault on the Yorktown defenses...also, for the british supposed being so open minded about black soldiers on their side. They proved they weren't so thrilled about them when they murdered and cut to pieces a white officer for leading that particular continental divison.
Uhhh dude, all African Americans in the Continental Service became free men....
@samsmith2635 yeah, but that doesn't fit their narrative.
@@samsmith2635
Yeah, well, they still endured 100 more years of sl*v*ry and 200 more years of segregation.
@@samsmith2635bro no they weren't, plenty of black men were kept in bondage after the war. And even with the ones that were free they were second class 'citizens' that's couldn't vote or hold land and faced heavy prejudice. Especially in the south
its crazy most of these people on the patriot side were ordinary farmers. this is truly inspiring
What a wonderful direction. Doesn't feel like a reenactment. It feels like I'm in the heat of the moment.
Indeed. Ironically most reenactments are not very accurate for the actual feel, but this is still inaccurate tactics-wise. Formations are all weird.
John Williams’ music score makes this all the more epic. Good stuff 💪🏼
Such an awesome setup. The Continental Army knew how aggressive Cornwalis would be towards the militia knowing he would order his army to chase them, landing the Reds right into the sights of the Continental Army.
I always liked the part where the scared looking young soldier gets motivated to turn around and charge to the flag.
That dude - 10/10 actor. He looked terrified but then did his duty
We watch this every 4th of July. What a movie.
Much is said about the historical inaccuracies of this movie in terms of “unbelievable” events. The funny part of Cowpens is that the real thing was even more dramatic than this scene. In reality, the militia feigned retreat all the way behind the Continental regulars and circled around to attack the British left. The regulars themselves feigned retreat for a short distance, only to turn around and fire into the British bayonet charge at point blank range. Meanwhile, Continental cavalry had been hiding behind the hill and came charging to the British right. It’s the only example of double-envelopment in the Revolutionary War.
2:55
Damn i love those drums.
man, light blue trimming on grey on the French officer is such a sick combination, i love it
I have five great grandfathers that fought in the Revolutionary War,; two at Lexington and one at Yorktown. Makes me very, very proud that they were willing to die for what they believed in and help this country become the success it has been until recently. I too, found this movie very moving, especially in the light of what happened to patriots who signed the Declaration of Independence.
"I have five great grandfathers" That's fairly impressive given you only 4 great grandfathers... There are some issues with the revolution for me but in particular the straw that broke the camels back was that the British banned any furhter movment to the West, Had they won there is at least a chance that the Genocide visited on the nartive Americans might not have happened. Similarly the taxation without representation argument is more nuanced then most Americans think it is given all the tax being raised in the Colonies was expressly intended to be spent within the Colonies not to enrich the British who where paying taxes and 1/6 of the defence budget was going on the protection of the 13 Colonies in 1771
3:35 I always wondered what happen to this unit of continental regulars, probably got wiped out 🥲
They just hold the line to slow their charging
I think they all got killed
Sacrificed..with the militia center's feigned retreat,they bear the brunt of holding the flanks just enough to get the British into a pincer trap
1:49 black redcoat on the center left
One of the greatest movies of the past 30 years.
This?! A propaganda piece whitewashing history!
This movie gets a lot of crap but I just love how they actually use extras and not that much cgi. The landscape reminds me of actual painting depicting this time period.
Gotta love that crappy stock sound effect when Frenchie draws his sword in the beginning
"Sir we haven't been given that order." Lol.
Seeing the close quarters combat is crazy. Huge respect to all the soldiers who fought like that, id hate to imagine taking a bayonet or sword to the gut.
Music made the entire carnage uplifting with joy.
Benjamin gets the French guy fired up by reminding him that they killed his family
Do you truly believe a man who actually watched his entire family slaughtered NEEDS any reminders from anyone?
@@tatianalyulkin410 no, but that’s what he was doing in that scene
My favorite war film because you could hear all the infantry calls
"BATALLION HALT"
"DRESS RANKS"
"MAKE READY"
RIP Tom Wilkinson😢
"It appears Colonel Tavington prefers to follow his OWN commands..." *sneers haughtily*
One way to break American morale, ensure Tavington does whatever and let him charge at the American troops on the other hand, win the hand to hand combat.. until some Australian says "Hold the Line!"
That Australian was/is in actuality an Irish American. Mel was born in Westchester County New York.
I actually work at the Cowpens national battlefield, I can list the inaccuracies but this did make for a good movie. Mel Gibsons character is a mix between Andrew Pickens and Daniel Morgan, Tavington is supposed Tarleton, and Cornwallis was never at the battle he was in charolette
What about Francis Marion "The Swamp Fox"? I've heard many say that Mel's character also has this person mixed in, or is it just his familiarity and use of The "Black Swamp"?
@@KenDaKingArrives definitely not since he was a slaver owner
I live right outside of kings mountain and have been to cowpens many times. Thanks for the important work you do!
@@KenDaKingArriveswell yeah, but at this point in the movie he’s representing the men listed.
I love this scene back when i was a kid
Absolutely Roland Emmerich's best film so far, directly followed by Independence Day (only the first part).
Bro like i know this is incredibly inaccurate but this is EPIC! You can’t deny that fact!
I know this movie is inaccurate as hell but props to the militia(even moreso if this happened IRL) for holding aswell as managing to trade fire with british regulars who at this point in time where one of the best line infantries in EU with prussia rivaling them(arguably better).
I think they said this based on the Battle of the Cow pens.
During the battle there were three lines a small force of militia at the front, the second was a larger group of militia in a tree line, and at the third line was Contental Regulars, cavalry, and short artillery.
The first line fired twice then retreated to the second line. Now a militia force three times the size of first line shot twice again, inflicting heavy causalities to the British, then the militia fell back to third line and well you can probably guess what happened to the British that time.
The Cow Pens has been called the most perfect American victory.
@@rustyrussell2537 credit where it's due it was a superb use of tactics, even though we were beaten I have to recognise it
@Rusty Russell That and the battle in the movie where it mixed Guilford Courthouse with Cowpens. The former battle was a British victory but their artillery fired on their troops to gain that victory.
Well the Militia did all they could after all. They've joined the war, they very much lost homes and family.
They've also very skillful with rifled muskets in hunting and some fighting in the war like Mel Gibsons character whose a war hero.

This tactic is called the reverse slope. Wellington was a master of it, and used it to great success at Waterloo
Great movie I saw the scene 'til the end 👍🏼
Idk if yall peeped it because it was so fast. But at 2:26 the freedman that worked his farm is dressed in a British uniform and fired a fatal shot at one of the colonists.
Just an interesting detail that brings out some symbolism and depth to the story.
i just now noticed the freed man but i didnt know it was one of his workers
He's probably one of the slaves the British liberated from a different plantation.
@@isaiahjones2089The British only did that to weaken southern colonies that were rebelling. They couldn't care less about slaves.
God I love this country Soo much 🤗
This is great movie
the music is splendid
6:35 i dont know what it is, but seeing the American flag charge forward while in obvious retreat and danger just makes me tear up a bit. I think it might be my love for America that makes me tear, or call it my patriotism if you will. This movie is full of inaccuracies but Mel Gibson did an excellent job at displaying courage resiliency by charging towards danger with the American flag during a retreat.
Mel always hits right
There are very few issues i see with historical accuracies in this film, but this is still one ficticious story of one man experiencing historical events.
You can complain about the historical accuracy of this movie, but this is still one of the great examples of warfare from this era with actual real extras.
Yeah. The battlescenes, costumes etc. were very well made. Sad that such work was wasted on a propaganda piece.
@@PikkabuuEven as a properganda piece it's still better then napoleon 2023 though.
Even the part that was CGI was super well done. It blended real actors and the CGI when viewed from further away if I remember correctly. (It was the battle they watched from the window of the house)
America would still be a part of the British Empire if the Brits did not piss off Mel Gibson
Thanks to Col. Tavington 😁 he messed up everything
Scotland might belong to England too, if it wasn't for Mel.
4:12 oh come on lol, anyone (Brits in this case) who would see a large army formation down there would not continue mindlessly chasing the enemy. Hold back, keep the high ground... sigh.
Interesting fact about this film: it’s awesome.
Does anyone by chance know if there is a sample of the marching drums when they start marching towards each other? Like just the drums not them talking or anything?
Is it a historical marching song or just a snare made for the movie?
My favorite part is when the American soldier saved the French soldier
Never understood why one would just stand there waiting for be shot.
Apparently, it was to maximize the amount of firepower given to the enemy. At least ducking or crouching at the last second would have still been a smart move
@@asundev3326 or at least sidestep when it’s your turn to get shot.
@@Paradigmfusionwell that’s the thing because the fire is so concentrated even if you sidestep there’s so many bullets going down range you’re hit anyway
Imagine being a British officer who knows how to soldier and kept his men all alive, promising they'll get home, only to find out you are in a Mel Movie. Love the soundtrack, love musket films but the anity british is strong here. If only Sharp was 60 years younger. Still Like this film. Still fun, We need more Musket Movies!
Idk why but I find this motivational
Mel Gibson starred in two war movies both were about him fighting for a nation that was trying to get independence from the same nation, Britain and he fought against Britain in braveheart and the patriot
Braveheart was about Scotland getting independence from England, not Britain. Scotland is in Britain. The American war was against the Kingdom of Great Britain (England and Scotland) and the Kingdom of Ireland.

Yes they promised many slaves freedom. It was sorta difficult because much of the south (where majority of slaves where) was loyalists to the British.

I can't imagine firing and just standing there for 30 seconds trying to reload. All the while the enemy has a clear shot a mere 50ft away..
