What happens

Revolution is a 1985 British historical drama film directed by Hugh Hudson, written by Robert Dillon, and starring Al Pacino, Donald Sutherland and Nastassja Kinski. Pacino stars as Tom Dobb, a frontiersman in the colony of New York who involuntarily becomes involved in the Revolutionary cause during the American Revolutionary War. Revolution was panned critically upon its release, and was a financial failure; its official release was delayed in Pacino's native New York City. Under withering criticism, Pacino took a four-year hiatus from films until 1989, when he made a successful comeback with Sea of Love. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
