Since Malaysia is populated with various multi-ethnic groups, patriotic movies become an important agent in stabilizing the country's prosperity. In addition, patriotic movies are also used as an agent in delivering information by the government through the spread of propaganda and ideology, especially in reaching a common consensus. However, the production of patriotic movies is less favored by the producers therefore being the least produced compared to other commercial and entertainment movie genres. Therefore, it is important to explore what patriotic movies are and its importance to the country. Thus, this paper offered an overview in understanding global and local patriotic movies, which are taken from various literature review notes. The sources that have been found demonstrate various contributions of global and local patriotic movies being produced, whether in terms of cultivating the spirit of love for the country, the unification of the nation, the narration of history, the restoration of history in the form of narrative storytelling and many more.
