In 1945, the Second World War was coming to an end, and Japan, as an important member of the axis of evil, had become an arrow of strength. That year, the Battle of Okinawa, which decided the course of the war, kicked off. Thousands of high-spirited American soldiers were sent to Okinawa. What awaited them was the extremely dangerous Hacksaw Ridge, which was heavily guarded by the enemy. Among the group was a military doctor who was unwilling to take up arms. His name is Desmond Dawes (Andrew Garfield) and he is from Virginia, USA. As the Pacific broke out, the emaciated Desmond volunteered to become a medical doctor who saved lives and was drafted into the army. However, due to childhood and family reasons, he was never willing to pick up a gun and practice. For this reason, he would rather be sent to a military court for refusing to perform military service. After many twists and turns, Desmond and his comrades finally arrived at Hacksaw Ridge. The bullets rained down, and in the blink of an eye, countless people fell to the ground. Supported by faith and belief, Desmond alone saved dozens of dying lives... This film is based on real people.
