Following the Boston Tea Party, tensions between colonialists and the British escalate. General Thomas Gage sends his army of the "King's Regulars" on a secret mission to arrest patriot leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock and to seize ammunition stores. However, the Americans gain intelligence of the mission thanks to the help of a beautiful spy...General Gage's own colonial-born wife.

Rebel leader Paul Revere recruits smuggler William Dawes, and a young doctor, Samuel Prescott, to embark on a perilous midnight ride to warn the countryside of the impending attack. Despite the overwhelming obstacles, the riders spread the message, and prevent capture of Adams and Hancock. Banded together by patriotism, local militias gather on the green at Lexington in order to fight for their independence - a passionate group of average men against the strongest and best-trained army in the world.

The true story of Paul Revere's legendary ride and the spark that ignited the American Revolution, Midnight Riders is a suspenseful story of action, adventure, humor and intrigue set in colonial Massachusetts.
