Alright, thanks all....I’m guessing it is Battle of Athens but for some reason I was thinking he rattled off a different name.

They might be getting a couple different movies mixed up. "American Story" is, I think the only movie based on the Battle of Athens.

But there was also "The Best Years of Our Lives", about the difficulties of returning servicemen. It didn't feature the taking up of arms against a corrupt government, but does fit at least part of the plot you describe and is from the right time period.

that does look good. I added it to my list as well.
