Movie Info

A rural Montana community is threatened when the FBI tries to arrest members of a radical militia group. The militia retaliates by releasing a killer virus into the air, sickening most of the local residents -- but not Dr. Wesley McClaren (Steven Seagal) or his daughter, Holly (Gailard Sartain). It seems that Holly is immune to the virus. As McClaren races to find a cure, militia leader Floyd Chisolm (L.Q. Jones) attempts to kidnap Holly so that his group can make an antitoxin.

Critic Reviews for The Patriot

This particular hybrid story doesn't work well with Seagal's brand of action, even if it contains realistic notes on both right-wing terrorists and biochemical disasters.

Steven Seagal as a Montana doctor with a strange accent. Yes, it is as laughable as it sounds.

Audience Reviews for The Patriot

Dec 09, 2009

I admit I like some Movie with Steven Seagal`s but this one was tiny bit boring.

Wahida K Super Reviewer

Give Steven Seagal credit for caring about the environment and his country, but when will he learn that preaching doesn't make for very palatable entertainment? This time, he's a scientific genius (!) who must kick some butt as he struggles to find a cure for a lethal virus spread by a white supremacist. Only for die-hard fans of the star, although it does feature a nice turn by stalwart character actor L.Q. Jones.
