\"HacksawRidgeTeaserPoster\"<\/a>There was recently some talk about whether or not Mel Gibson is working on a sequel to \u201cThe Passion of the Christ,\u201d but he is definitely coming out with a new movie \u2014 and Lionsgate has just released the poster and a synopsis.<\/p>\n

Synopsis: HACKSAW RIDGE is the extraordinary true story of WWII medic Desmond Doss, played by Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spiderman<\/em>), who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, miraculously saved 75 men in a matter of hours without firing or carrying a gun. He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, except the simple prayer he uttered before he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, under constant enemy gunfire and artillery bombardment. Doss\u2019 courage and faith won the admiration of his commanders and fellow soldiers, as he saved the lives of the very men who had persecuted him for refusing to carry a gun. He believed the war was just, but to kill under any circumstance was wrong. Doss was labeled the first conscientious objector (he called himself a \u201cconscientious cooperator\u201d as he volunteered) to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor.\u00a0 Hacksaw Ridge is directed by Mel Gibson (Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ<\/em>) and also stars Vince Vaughn, Sam Worthington, Teresa Palmer, Luke Bracey, Hugo Weaving, and Rachel Griffiths. Coming to theaters nationwide November 4, 2016<\/span><\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
