The Uprising

Paul Greengrass' The Uprising (2026) tells a story you can watch online on iFILM: England, 1381, and a farmer turned rebel leader stands against the crown of a fourteen-year-old King Richard II.

Andrew Garfield leads a sprawling British cast — Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Katherine Waterston and Stanley Townsend — as villagers, clergy and courtiers caught between a boy king and thousands of furious taxpayers marching on London. The poll tax broke something in the countryside. What comes next isn't a petition.

Greengrass built his name filming disasters and crises like they were news footage — United 93, Captain Phillips, 22 July — and here he points that same handheld, unglamorous eye at medieval England. A Germany-UK-US co-production, tagline blunt as a pitchfork: "Rise or die." Anyone tired of costume-drama history should find this one rougher and closer to the ground.
