Hacksaw Ridge is a gripping biographical war drama based on the incredible true story of Desmond Doss, a devout Seventh-day Adventist and conscientious objector who served as a combat medic during World War II without ever carrying a weapon. Directed by Mel Gibson, the film stars Andrew Garfield as Doss, whose unwavering faith and courage saved countless lives during the brutal Battle of Okinawa.
The film begins with Desmond’s upbringing in rural Virginia, shaped by his religious beliefs and a traumatic childhood incident that instilled in him a deep aversion to violence. Despite his pacifism, Doss enlists in the U.S. Army after the attack on Pearl Harbor, determined to serve as a medic. However, his refusal to handle a rifle earns him ridicule and persecution from his fellow soldiers and commanding officers, who view him as a coward. After enduring harsh treatment and a court-martial threat, Doss is finally allowed to serve without bearing arms.
Deployed to Okinawa, Doss and his unit face the horrors of Hacksaw Ridge—a steep, heavily fortified cliff where Japanese forces wage a ferocious defense. Amid relentless combat and devastating casualties, Doss’s bravery shines as he single-handedly rescues 75 wounded soldiers, lowering them down the ridge to safety while under constant enemy fire. His heroism earns him the respect of his comrades and, eventually, the Medal of Honor—the first conscientious objector to receive the award.
Hacksaw Ridge masterfully balances intense, visceral battle sequences with profound themes of faith, conviction, and humanity. Andrew Garfield delivers a powerful performance, portraying Doss’s humility and determination with heartfelt sincerity. The film’s unflinching depiction of war’s brutality contrasts with its uplifting message of perseverance and selflessness.
Mel Gibson’s direction ensures that Hacksaw Ridge is both a harrowing war epic and an inspiring tribute to an extraordinary real-life hero. With its emotional depth and stunning action, the film stands as a testament to the power of unwavering principles in the face of unimaginable adversity.
