The 2000 movie The Patriot mentioned an aspects of the Battle of Camden

The Patriot is a 2000 American epic historical war film written by Robert Rodat, directed by Roland Emmerich, and starring Mel Gibson, Chris Cooper, Heath Ledger, and Jason Isaacs. The story takes place mainly in rural Berkeley County in South Carolina and depicts Benjamin Martin (Gibson), an American colonist opposed to going to war with Great Britain who, along with his adult son, (Ledger) gets swept into the Revolutionary War when his home life is disrupted and one of his sons is murdered by a cruel British officer (Isaacs).

Aspects of the Battle of Camden were included in the movie. In The Patriot, Ben comments on the stupidity of Gates fighting "muzzle to muzzle with Redcoats". The film is not historically accurate, depicting too many Continental troops relative to the number of militia, and showing the Continentals and militia retreating at the same time. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 62% based on 137 reviews, with an average rating of 6.10/10. The site's critic's consensus reads: "The Patriot can be entertaining to watch, but it relies too much on formula and melodrama." The film was harshly criticized in the British press in part because of its connection to Francis Marion, a militia leader in South Carolina known as the "Swamp Fox". Despite having different critics, the film is still entertaining and helpful for those who want to study about the Battle of Camden, as well as American History.
