The Patriot (1916) is a western film directed by William S. Hart.

Family relationships of a New Mexico family are just one part of this silent cowboy western about a war veteran who finds a goldmine.

He swears vengeance and joins up with Mexican bandit, "Pancho Zapilla", who intends to destroy his whole town.
