Synopsis

Join us for Staff Picks, The State’s new series where our staff shares some of their favorite films with our patrons. Concessionist Ricardo picks Hacksaw Ridge.


The true story of Pfc. Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield), who won the Congressional Medal of Honor despite refusing to bear arms during WWII on religious grounds. Doss was drafted and ostracized by fellow soldiers for his pacifist stance but went on to earn respect and adoration for his bravery, selflessness and compassion after he risked his life — without firing a shot — to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa.
