I recently watched Percy vs. Goliath (2020) on Tubi. The storyline follows a generational farmer whose family has specialized in seeds for decades, passing on their knowledge to future generations. When a large seeding organization sues the farmer for allegedly using their seeds illegally, he puts his family history, farm, and reputation on the line to face them.

Directed by Clark Johnson (SWAT) and starring Christopher Walken (Deer Hunter), Roberta Maxwell (Popeye), Christina Ricci (Mermaids), Zach Braff (Garden State), and Adam Beach (Windtalkers).

This film delivers a well-crafted storyline from multiple angles. Christopher Walken authentically portrays a character dealing with realistic circumstances. Braff and Ricci offer great supportive performances as the lawyer and activist, while Maxwell perfectly embodies the role of the wife/referee. The film effectively depicts the strength and backbone of the common man, across multiple cultures, and features interesting twists, turns, and a heartfelt conclusion.

In conclusion, Percy vs. Goliath is an entertaining drama with characters that are easy to root for in the face of unfortunate circumstances. I would score this a solid 6.5-7/10 and recommend seeing it once.
