WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In a very tongue-in-cheek take on the American Revolutionary War, a chainsaw-wielding George Washington (Tatum) leads a group of American rebels – including his beer-loving best friend Sam Adams (Mantzoukas), inventor Thomas Edison (Munn), acclaimed horseman Paul Revere (Moynihan) and a vengeful Geronimo (Trujillo) – on an assault against the British forces, including King James (Pegg), to secure freedom for all Americans…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Just in time for the Fourth of July weekend, producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller team up with the creators of Archer for a wildly bonkers – and kind of amazing – anachronistic take on a defining moment in American history.
