Focus Features has released the first trailer for its upcoming historical drama The Uprising, starring Andrew Garfield. Directed and written by Paul Greengrass, the film is set to arrive in theaters on September 11, 2026.
Set against the backdrop of the English Peasants’ Revolt of 1381, the film stars Garfield as Ploughman, the legendary leader who rallies ordinary people against the tyrannical rule of King Richard II. As war, crushing taxes, and oppression devastate the country, the story follows a farmer who becomes the face of a rebellion driven by the fight for justice, freedom, and survival.
The newly released trailer opens with Ploughman declaring, “I am no soldier. I am no priest. I’m just a farmer,” before charting the uprising’s escalation into a massive march on London.
The ensemble cast also includes Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, Katherine Waterston, and Sky Yang.
The film is produced by Jason Blum, Gregory Goodman, Joanna Kaye, Joe Neurauter, and Lars Sylvest.
