A partly fictionalized historical drama about the rebellion of 1837 and 1838 that sought to make Lower Canada (now Quebec) a republic independent of the British empire. The main protagonist is Patriote François-Xavier Bouchard. The latter comes back to Lower Canada in the autumn of 1838 after having escaped to the United States (as a number of Patriotes did indeed), after the first uprising, in that year. As soon as he returns, despite the exhortations of his family, he joins François-Marie-Thomas Chevalier de Lorimier for another attempt. Following a hasty trial, Bouchard, Chevalier de Lorimier and others are sentenced to death.

Loaded with edge-of-your-seat action, Battlefield Earth creates a totally new style of science fiction filmmaking. Earth: It is the year 3000. Man is an endangered species. This original and innovative saga of alien conquest and human rebellion is filled with humor, adventure and jeopardy, combined together for an explosive and highly entertaining movie that will leave you exhausted!
