America: The Motion Picture is a satirical animated movie that imagines the American Revolution in a comedic and irreverent way. The movie follows a fictionalized version of George Washington, who is portrayed as a swaggering showoff with razor-sharp wit, as he teams up with Sam Adams, a beer-loving bro, to take down the British empire.
Together, Washington and Adams gather a group of founding fathers that include Thomas Edison, Paul Revere, and Geronimo. The group sets out to defeat King James and his army of redcoats using an array of unconventional weapons, including chainsaws and laser guns.
Throughout the film, the historical events of the American Revolution are given a humorous and exaggerated spin, with depictions of famous figures that include a mechanical Abraham Lincoln and a robot Benjamin Franklin. The movie also pokes fun at American pop culture and politics with references to Kanye West and modern-day political campaigns.
America: The Motion Picture is a wild and irreverent take on the story of American independence that delivers plenty of laughs and surprises.
