The Uprising is the newest adventure film from director Paul Greengrass. Greengrass is best known for directing Captain Phillips and the Jason Bourne films. The Uprising stars Andrew Garfield as the leader of an uprising against King Richard II during the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt in England. It is a dramatization of that real historical event. The film has been advertised as a Robin Hood story, but the film does not get very deep into any sort of Robin Hood lore.
