Andrew Garfield leads revolt in ‘The Uprising’; Robin Hood cameo derails finale

Paul Greengrass’s new film follows a farmer’s desperate strike that sparks a 1381 peasants’ revolt, starring Andrew Garfield as the grieving Ploughman. The story blends historical tension with modern themes of inequality, featuring Jamie Bell as priest John Ball and Cosmo Jarvis as Wat Tyler. A controversial Robin Hood‑style epilogue, however, pulls the film into a confusing twist that muddles its powerful climax.
