Revolution is a 1985 British historical drama film directed by Hugh Hudson, written by Robert Dillon, and starring Al Pacino, Donald Sutherland, and Nastassja Kinski. The film stars Pacino as a frontiersman in the Colony of New York who involuntarily gets involved in the Revolutionary cause during the American Revolutionary War.
Revolution received negative reviews upon release and was a financial disappointment; its official release was delayed in Pacino's native New York City.[4] Under withering criticism, Pacino took a four-year hiatus from films until 1989, when he made a successful comeback with Sea of Love.
