It is 1776 in colonial South Carolina. Benjamin Martin, a French-Indian war hero who is haunted by his past, now wants nothing more then to live peacefully on his small plantation, and wants no part of a war with the most powerful nation in the world, Great Britain. Meanwhile, his two eldest sons, Gabriel and Thomas, can't wait to enlist in the newly formed "Continental Army." When South Carolina decides to join the rebellion against England, Gabriel immediately signs up to fight...without his father's permission. But when Colonel William Tavington, British dragoon, infamous for his brutal tactics, comes and burns the Martin Plantation to the ground, tragedy strikes. Benjamin quickly finds himself torn between protecting his family, and seeking revenge along with being a part of the birth of new, young, and ambitious nation.

-Best Stunt Coordinator and/or 2nd Unit Director: Action Sequence - R.A. Rondell Militia vs. Redcoats Battle - Militia and Redcoats fire on each other in a desperate face-to-face battle. A horse charge from the Red Coats chases the militia into a valley and at first seems to turn the tide, however they are then ambushed by the Colonial Army. There are cannonball explosions, saddle falls, horse falls, back over and squibs aplenty. Then there's an all-out hand-to-hand battle with pistols, swords, rifles and bayonets. The scene integrates an army of performers and horses and intricately timed explosions. (NOMINATED)
