Mel Gibson stars in this Revolutionary War story of a reluctant widower participant in the war due to his guilt over atrocities he particpated in in the French and Indian Wars. After a son is killed and another captured and his house burned by the British, Gibson seeks revenge against a sadistci British officer responsible for Gibson's trouble. With two younger sons Gibson wipes out 21 Britich soldiers and rescues the captured son. He then forms a militia and because of his sneaky guerilla tactics becomes known as "The Ghost". His speciallty in attacks is to kill all the British officers first. he is aided by an officer in the regular Continental Army, a friend played by Chris Cooper. A young Heath Ledger plays one of Gibson's sons.The whole movie is basically a two man war between Gibson and the sadistic British officer, played by Jason Issacs. Naturally they meet face to face in battle at the end. Along the way one of Gibson's sons woos and marries a young lass and Gibson himself is attracted to the sister of his deceased wife. Basically an action picture that just happens to be set in the Revolutionary War.
