BFF26: The Uprising

From Academy Award®-nominated director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum) comes The Uprising, a visceral historical action drama inspired by the true events of the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt.

In an England ravaged by plague, poverty and growing distrust of the Crown, Academy Award® nominee Andrew Garfield (We Live in Time BFF24) stars as the Ploughman, a common labourer driven to breaking point by devastating personal loss. As unrest sweeps across the country, he emerges as the unlikely leader of a ferocious rebellion against the tyranny of King Richard II, rallying thousands of ordinary people in a fight for justice, dignity and survival.

Joining Garfield is an acclaimed British ensemble cast including BAFTA winners Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot), Stephen Dillane (The Tunnel) and Tom Hollander (Pride & Prejudice), alongside Cosmo Jarvis (Warfare), Thomasin McKenzie (Jojo Rabbit) and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting). As rage and rebellion tear through England, The Uprising transforms a defining act of resistance into a clash between the ruling elite and those with nothing left to lose.
