The Uprising

Greengrass turns a peasant revolt into brutal momentum

Paul Greengrass brings his handheld intensity to a 14th-century England ravaged by war and plague, where a commoner ignites a rebellion against the King. Andrew Garfield and Jamie Bell lead an army of the desperate in a fight where the stakes are survival itself. This is action and history built on forward drive, and Greengrass shoots chaos better than almost anyone.
