The film takes place in 1776, during the American Revolutionary War. The American colonies are fighting for independence from British rule, just a few months after signing the Declaration of Independence in July.
REBEL is a gripping, historical drama that plunges us into
the gritty turmoil of the American Revolution.
The story jumps into action with Nathan Hale, a young spy for
the Continental Army, who infiltrates enemy lines, only to be
captured and hanged by the British. His loyal horse, Rebel,
witnesses the betrayal and sets off on a perilous journey of
his own. Rebel's path crosses with Sybil Ludington, a
fiercely spirited young woman who longs to join the fight for
freedom despite societal expectations.
With the help of Caleb, an older, wise former slave, Sybil
tames Rebel and forges a deep bond with him as they both
navigate their trauma and find their place in the fight for
independence.
Through cunning, courage, and friendship, they evade capture
by the ruthless Dr. Prosser, who is determined to recapture
Rebel for his own sinister purposes.
