What it’s about. Der kleine Jody (Christopher Ogden) verehrt seinen Onkel, den Kriegshelden Sam Harper (David Fralick) beinahe schon abgöttisch und möchte, wenn er mal erwachsen ist, genau so wie sein Vorbild werden. Als Sam allerdings in Friendly Fire stirbt und sein Sarg in seine Heimatstadt gebracht wird, ist Jody der einzige, der wirklich trauert. Während er den Verstorbenen nämlich in guter Erinnerung hat, freut sich die restliche Verwandtschaft schon fast über Sam’s Tod, da dieser zu Lebzeiten ein regelrechtes Monster war. Was jedoch niemand ahnt, ist dass Sam auf unerklärliche Weise wieder ins Leben zurückkehrt und sich am 4. Juli, dem Unabhängigkeitstag, in einem Uncle Sam Kostüm unter die Bevölkerung der Kleinstadt mischt, um all jene zu töten, die seiner Ansicht nach die amerikanische Ehre beschmutzen…
