Hacksaw Ridge is “not quite authentic,” though its intense battle scenes still impress historian John McManus. Directed by Mel Gibson, the 2016 war film follows the experiences of Desmond Doss during World War II who, as a devout Seventh-day Adventist, refused to carry or use any weapons or firearms, and became the first conscientious objector to ever receive the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary service during the Battle of Okinawa. The movie stars Andrew Garfield as Desmond Doss alongside a cast that includes Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Teresa Palmer, Hugo Weaving, Rachel Griffiths, Vince Vaughn, and Richard Pyros.
