Based on events from a 1998 lawsuit, Percy follows small-town farmer Percy Schmeiser (Walken), who challenges a major conglomerate when the company’s genetically modified (GMO) canola is discovered in the 70-year-old farmer’s crops. As he speaks out against the company’s business practices, he realizes he is representing thousands of other disenfranchised farmers around the world fighting the same battle. Suddenly, he becomes an unsuspecting folk hero in a desperate war to protect farmers’ rights and the world’s food supply against what they see as corporate greed. Ce film s'inspire des poursuites engagées en 1998 par Percy Schmeiser, un agriculteur de la petite ville de Bruno en Saskatchewan, contre les grands conglomérats après que des organismes génétiquement modifiés (OGM) aient été découverts dans ses cultures de colza. Alors qu'il dénonce les pratiques commerciales des multinationales telles que Monsanto, il se rend compte que sa situation est similaire à celle de milliers d'autres producteurs agricoles qui mènent le même combat un peu partout sur la planète. Il est subitement devenu un symbole de la lutte pour protéger les droits des fermiers et l’approvisionnement alimentaire mondial contre la cupidité des grandes entreprises.
