Hacksaw Ridge is the extraordinary
true story of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield) who, in Okinawa during the
bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He was
the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon,
as he believed that while the war was justified, killing was nevertheless
wrong. As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind
enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers, was wounded by a grenade,
and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector to ever earn the
Congressional Medal of Honor.
