Frequently asked questions

What is Hacksaw Ridge about? Toggle content

The movie "Hacksaw Ridge" tells the true story of Desmond Doss, a Seventh-day Adventist who enlists in the US Army as a combat medic during World War II. Despite his belief in the commandment "Thou shalt not kill," Doss is determined to serve his country and rescue wounded soldiers from the battlefield. When he refuses to handle a rifle or train on Saturdays, he becomes a pariah among his fellow soldiers and is subjected to grueling labor and physical abuse by his commanding officers. Despite these challenges, Doss remains steadfast in his beliefs and eventually earns the respect of his comrades for his bravery and selflessness. The movie follows Doss's journey from basic training to the brutal Battle of Okinawa, where he single-handedly rescues over 75 wounded soldiers without firing a shot, earning him the Medal of Honor.
