ANGELIKA’S NOTE

"Often beautiful, occasionally infuriating and always fascinating" (Village Voice). Academy Award winner Mel Gibson's (BRAVEHEART, THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST) Oscar and Golden Globe nominated HACKSAW RIDGE chronicles an extraordinary true story, and features a groundbreaking performance by Andrew Garfield.

SYNOPSIS

The extraordinary true story of WWII army medic Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield), who, during the war’s bloodiest battle in Okinawa, miraculously 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. Doss 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, going on to become the first conscientious objector awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
