About the film:
As war and plague devastate 14th-century England, a humble peasant ignites a rebellion, uniting an army of commoners to defy the King’s might in a desperate fight for justice and survival.
Based on the same true events that helped inspire the legend of Robin Hood, The Uprising (2026) tells the story of the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 against the tyranny of King Richard II — when ordinary people stood against the might of a kingdom.
