Lionsgate | Hacksaw Ridge
WWII American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, who served during the Battle of Okinawa, refuses to kill people and becomes the first man in American history to receive the Medal of Honor without firing a shot. The true story of Desmond Doss, the conscientious objector and pacifist due to his religious upbringing is based on true events and is reflected beautifully in this spectacle of a movie.
