Desc :
A
former hero of the French/Indian War, Benjamin Martin has renounced
fighting forever to raise his family in peace. Although once a wily and
ferocious soldier, he marries a fine woman who bears him seven children
and, under her influence, trades his violent past for a peaceful future
on his sprawling plantation. But rebellion is brewing--another conflict
with Britain is inevitable. Recently widowed, his goals change. He's
the sole caretaker of his brood, and the horrors of past combat haunt
him still. Benjamin's eldest son, Gabriel, harbors no doubts about
going to war: the radical speeches and newsletters that began in the
cities and traverse the Colonies have made an impression on him. War is
coming, and Gabriel feels the cause is just. In defiance of his father,
he joins the fight. Benjamin is conflicted--as stalwart as he is in his
opposition to the war, he believes in the cause. When the British
arrive, the reluctant hero discovers that he must join the nation's war
to protect his family.
