released the first trailer for Mel Gibson's World War II drama Hacksaw Ridge,
his first directorial effort in a decade following Apocalypto in 2006.
Based on a true, Hacksaw

collaborator who despite refusing to bear arms saved the lives of 75 men.
Opening in theaters
on November 4, Hacksaw Ridge also stars Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Teresa
Palmer, Hugo Weaving, Rachel Griffiths, and Vince Vaughn.
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.
