Revolution (2012)

Fifteen years after a sudden, permanent global blackout wiped out every electronic device, the modern world has been forced back into a candlelit, agrarian existence. Revolution follows a band of survivors — torn families, former soldiers, and defiant freedom fighters — as they navigate empty cities, local militias, and an occupying force that claims to be the U.S. government. At the center is a young woman whose life is upended when a violent militia attack reveals that her family holds a secret linked to the blackout. Her search for answers sparks a larger rebellion that will determine who controls the future. If you watch Revolution you’ll experience: - A tense, post‑apocalyptic landscape: eerie, abandoned urban spaces, quiet small towns at dusk, and the clank of pre‑industrial technology replacing the hum of electricity. - Action and adventure: raids, guerrilla skirmishes, daring rescues and high‑stakes escapes balanced with tactical planning and large‑scale confrontations. - Emotional, character‑driven drama: fractured families, loyalties tested, coming‑of‑age growth, and difficult moral choices as characters choose between survival and sacrifice. - Mystery and conspiracy: slowly unfolding answers about why the blackout happened, secret organizations, and political maneuvering that blurs the line between liberators and occupiers. - A mix of pacing and tone: quiet, atmospheric worldbuilding and intimate moments intercut with urgent, cinematic set pieces and cliffhanger revelations. Overall, Revolution is a cinematic, character-focused survival drama that blends action and political intrigue with a thoughtful exploration of how people rebuild society — and what they’ll fight for when the lights go out.
