I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'revolutionary' is the first definition.
(I know that rebel is a type of revolutionary)

'film about boron' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rebel that I've seen before include "Mutineer, one who defies authority" , "Rise up against authority" , "One rising in opposition" , "Revolt, mutiny" , "One who's risen in opposition" .)
