An English armada heads for NYC to quash an uprising—but as the date is July 4th, 1776, things will not go precisely as planned. Swept up in the turbulent events are apolitical trapper Pacino (whose son and boat are pressed into service for the UK by odious Donald Sutherland) and society daughter-turned-freedom fighter Nastassja Kinski. The eclectic cast includes Steven Berkoff, Joan Plowright, Richard O’Brien (The Rocky Horror Picture Show), and Annie Lennox.

We are screening the director’s cut finessed by Hudson with new narration recorded by Pacino in 2009.
