The film is structured into two distinct halves. The first focuses on Doss’s (Andrew Garfield) life in Virginia—his romance with Dorothy Schutte and the trauma of his home life with his war-veteran father (Hugo Weaving)—followed by his struggle in basic training. Doss faces severe backlash and even a court-martial for his refusal to carry a weapon, a stance rooted in his pacifist beliefs as a conscientious objector.
Released in 2016, Hacksaw Ridge tells the extraordinary true story of (played by Andrew Garfield), a Seventh-day Adventist Christian who served as a combat medic during the brutal Battle of Okinawa in World War II. Doss became the first conscientious objector in American history to receive the Medal of Honor, having saved 75 men without firing a single shot or carrying a weapon. hacksaw+ridge+filmyzilla+upd
