More About This Film
The Uprising is a historical drama directed by Paul Greengrass and inspired by the English Peasants' Revolt of 1381. Andrew Garfield plays Wat Tyler, a commoner who becomes a leader of a rebellion as plague, poverty, taxation, and political tension push large numbers of people toward open revolt.
The film combines a large-scale medieval setting with the handheld, immediate visual style for which Greengrass is known. It also connects the historical revolt with the later Robin Hood tradition, while keeping its story grounded in the documented events and social conflicts of fourteenth-century England.
