Our take on Hacksaw Ridge

Mel Gibson's 2016 war drama tells the true-inspired story of Desmond T. Doss, an American Army medic who served at the Battle of Okinawa yet refused to carry a weapon, becoming the first conscientious objector to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. The film splits cleanly between his convictions being tested at home and in training, and the harrowing intensity of combat. Gibson stages battle with unflinching, visceral brutality, throwing Doss's quiet faith into sharp relief. It suits viewers who can stomach graphic violence in service of a story about courage without killing. Watch it for a stirring portrait of conviction holding firm amid horror.
