Carolina del sud, 1776. Benjamin Martin, un eroe del conflitto franco indiano, si è ritirato ad una vita tranquilla con la propria famiglia e ha giurato di non tornare mai più in guerra. Ora però la serenità della sua esistenza è minacciata dall'impellente conflitto contro gli inglesi e Benjamin, seppur contrario, scopre che l'unico modo per salvare la sua famiglia è combattere per la libertà del suo paese.
