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, HIS CHRISTIAN FAITH TAUGHT HIM THAT killing was
nevertheless wrong. As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded
from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded
by a grenade and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector to
ever earn the Congressional Medal of Honor.
