Rok 1776. Vdovec Benjamin Martin je skromný a predsa charizmatický muž, ukrývajúci v sebe obrovskú silu, odvahu a zodpovednosť. Kedysi spoznal hrôzy vojny, a preto je striktne proti novej a odmieta sa v nej angažovať, aj keď jej cieľom je dosiahnuť nezávislosť od Veľkej Británie. Benjamin je síce vlastencom, ale predovšetkým je otcom milujúcim svojich sedem detí, ktorý chce v pokoji žiť, farmárčiť a starať sa o rodinu. Nechce bojovať z pocitu vlasteneckého nadšenia a keď príde k boju priamo pred jeho farmou, ošetruje ranených z oboch strán. Až v okamihu, keď arogantný anglický plukovník William Tavington zákerne zavraždí jeho syna a druhého pošle na popravisko, mení sa farmár na bojovníka. Najskôr je akýmsi temným pomstychtivým prízrakom, ktorý sa v zúfalej snahe zachrániť odsúdeného syna vrhne proti dvadsaťnásobne početnejšej prevahe. Je nočnou morou nepriateľa, ktorý sa so svojimi mužmi vynára z temnoty a neľútostne zabíja.
