Based on true events, this inspiring biography is set against the brutal backdrop of World War II and revolves around Desmond Doss, a peace-loving and principled man who serves as a medic in the American army. As a pacifist and a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, he refuses to carry or use a firearm or weapons of any kind.
His absolute adherence to non-violence and determined refusal to carry weapons against all odds, made him stand out as a man with a clear conscience and extraordinary compassion. His role as the first 'objector' to violence won him recognition to the extent that he was awarded the prestigious Medal of Honour for service above and beyond the call of duty.
