Andrew Garfield Takes Centre Stage in The Uprising, Releasing 18th September
Mumbai, September 2026: PVR INOX Pictures is all set to bring The Uprising, the gripping historical drama from acclaimed filmmaker Paul Greengrass, to Indian audiences on 18th September 2026. Starring Andrew Garfield in the lead, the film takes audiences back to one of the most defining popular rebellions in medieval English history, the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381.
Set against the turbulent backdrop of 14th-century England, The Uprising explores a society fractured by inequality, oppressive taxation and growing resentment against those in power. What begins as widespread unrest soon transforms into a mass movement, as ordinary people rise against an established system and demand change.
At the centre of this upheaval is Andrew Garfield, who delivers a powerful performance in a story that places the individual against the scale and fury of a historic rebellion. Through his character’s journey, the film explores the courage, fear and conviction of people caught in a moment when the established order begins to crumble.
Directed by Paul Greengrass, renowned for his immersive and intensely realistic approach to filmmaking, The Uprising brings the world of 1381 to life with a visceral sense of urgency. The filmmaker’s distinctive storytelling places audiences in the middle of the unrest, capturing both the sweeping scale of the rebellion and the deeply personal stories unfolding within it.
While rooted in a pivotal moment from history, The Uprising explores themes that remain remarkably relevant today: inequality, injustice, power, resistance and the universal desire for dignity and a fairer society.
With Andrew Garfield leading an ensemble cast and Paul Greengrass at the helm, The Uprising promises audiences a compelling cinematic experience that combines the scale of a historical epic with the intensity of a deeply human story.
PVR INOX Pictures brings The Uprising exclusively to cinemas across India on 18th September 2026.
