THE PATRIOT

"EVERY SECOND COUNTS."

The plot involves Canadian patriot Dr. Wesley McClaren (Seagal) who has to foil the plot of a militia to release a deadly virus known simply as NAM-37. The source of the toxin is traced to a local self-styled rebel militia leader, Floyd Chisolm. McClaren gains access to a secret underground laboratory where he used to work and tries to discover a cure for this deadly virus.

After having taken blood samples from his daughter Holly (who seems to have a fondness for horses), and a Dr. Ann White Cloud, who both seem to be unaffected by the virus, Seagal's character learns the source of their immunity. They have been drinking tea made with a specific wild herb that's known to native American healers which renders them completely resistant to the virus.

Upon learning this information, Wesley and the good doctor White Cloud are captured by Floyd and his gang. Unfortunately for the rag-tag militia, McClaren is a specialist in weapons and self-defense. He proceeds to kick a guy through a wall and another through a vending machine, as well as break a militiaman's nose and eventually disables the militia. Just in the nick of time a biological protection team is able to get word of Seagal's cure and go out to the fields and pick all the flowers they can find and drop them by helicopter over the town, telling the people to boil them and drink the liquid.

In the end, Seagal, White Cloud, and some random indians are seen riding horses down main street, followed by Holly and her mini horse.
