Williamsburg: The Story of a Patriot tells the story of how Virginians political leaders in the House of Burgesses—including Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and George Washington— debated and resolved to move from forceful protest to a resolution for independence in May of 1776, risking everything to transform Virginia from a colony of Great Britain to a Commonwealth within the United States.
This story depicts Virginia's crucial role in American Independence through the perspective of John Fry, a fictional Virginia planter portrayed by Jack Lord, elected to the House of Burgesses.
This groundbreaking film used cutting edge technology utilizing Paramount Studio's VistaVision cameras and Todd-AO six-channel sound to orient guests to the locations and key historical moments they would experience during a visit to Colonial Williamsburg.
