Patton es una película estadounidense de 1970 que relata las hazañas militares del general George Patton, desde la derrota estadounidense en el paso de Kasserine (campaña del norte de África) hasta la entrega de una parte de Alemania a los rusos al terminar la Segunda Guerra Mundial, aunque el filme se enfoca en describir su peculiar personalidad. El filme muestra a un hombre extravagante, carismático, severo, perseverante, romántico (como Don Quijote), quien basaba sus exitosas estrategias en las historias de guerras antiguas, y creía ser las reencarnaciones de un mariscal de Napoleón y de un guerrero cartaginés. Hubo intentos de hacer el filme, que se iniciaron en 1953. Los productores se mantuvieron en estrecha relación con la familia de Patton para ayudarse con la historia de la película. Los productores querían leer los diarios de los familiares y conocer relatos íntimos del general Patton, y los pidieron el día del funeral de Beatrice Ayer Patton, viuda del general, pero la familia se opuso al filme y rehusaron proporcionar cualquier información. Debido a la escasez de información, Francis Ford Coppola y Edmund H. North escribieron el guion del filme basados en dos biografías, , de , y , de Omar Bradley. En el año 2005, la familia Patton permitió la publicación del manuscrito de la finada viuda de Patton. La hija del general, , escribió el libro , donde relata el contenido del manuscrito. George C. Scott ganó el Oscar al mejor actor (que él rechazó) por la excelente y conmovedora interpretación del general Patton. En el 2003 la Biblioteca del Congreso estadounidense consideró al filme culturalmente importante y se preservan copias en el Registro Nacional de Filmes estadounidense.
