Revolution (1985) is an American historical film which was produced by Irwin Winkler and Goldcrest film (a British studio), directed by Hugh Hudson, and written by Robert Dillon. The film distributed by Warner Bros Pictures.
Al Pacino perform New York fur trapper Tom Dobb who has lost his entire family except one young son, Ned Dobb. Tom becomes a participant in the American Revolutionary War in attempts to find and protect Ned, after he is drafted into the Army by Sergeant Major Peasy. His unwilling participation in war in order to protect his son eventually force him to take a stand and fight for the freedom of the Colonies.
Revolution starring Al Pacino as Tom Dobb, Donald Sutherland as Sergeant Major Peasy, Nastassja Kinski as Daisy McConnahay, Dexter Fletcher as Tom Dobb's son Ned Dobb, and Steven Berkoff as Sgt. Jones.Revolution was another Al Pacino's movie flop after Bobby Deerfield (1977). The film costing $28 million, to make only $346,761 domestic gross revenue. Even worst, the film brought down Pacino's career to four years hiatus, until he finally got his next job in Sea of Love (1989).
However, if you love American history as well as movies dedicated to the subject (specifically, the Revolutionary War segment), Revolution is worth watching. In 2009 the film released in DVD, called Revolution Revisited, with additional narration by Al Pacino, and a conversation with Al Pacino and director Hugh Hudson discussing any issues relating to making and releasing the film.
