    $file = array(Input::file('file'));
    $rule = array('file' => 'required'); 
    $validate = Validator::make($file,$rule); 

  if($validate->fails()){
      var_dump($file); exit();
   }

It looks like your problem is that the $file array isn't associative, meaning the validator doesn't see any input to compare the file rule in $rule against.

Change: $file = array(Input::file('file'));

to: $file = array('file' => Input::file('file'));

...and the validator now knows what input to run against your rule.
