Lionsgate Films has sent us the official poster for Mel Gibson's upcoming film Hacksaw Ridge (2016), starring Teresa Palmer, Sam Worthington, Vince Vaughn, Andrew Garfield, Hugo Weaving, and Rachel Griffiths. The film will open in cinemas across the nation on November 4.
Hackshaw Ridge is the first film Gibson is directing since Apocalypto.
Official studio synopsis: Hacksaw Ridge is the extraordinary true story of conscientious collaborator Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield) who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He believed the war was just, but killing was nevertheless wrong; he was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon. As an army medic, Doss single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. He was the first conscientious objector to ever earn the Congressional Medal of Honor.
