Synopsis / あらすじ
English (Short Synopsis)
Desmond Doss, a young man driven by a profound religious conviction, enlists in the U.S. Army during WWII as a combat medic—but with a radical condition: he refuses to touch a weapon. Branded a coward and harassed by his fellow soldiers and superiors, Desmond faces a court-martial to defend his right to serve without killing. After a grueling struggle for his principles, he is finally deployed to Okinawa in 1945. There, his unit is ordered to take the “Maeda Escarpment,” a terrifying 400-foot cliffside nicknamed “Hacksaw Ridge.” Armed with nothing but his faith and a first-aid kit, Desmond stands at the edge of a literal hell, ready to face a battle where his survival depends on the very conviction that made him a pariah.
日本語 (簡潔なあらすじ)
第二次世界大戦下、デズモンド・ドスは「汝、殺すなかれ」という強い信念を抱き、武器を持たない衛生兵として志願入隊します。しかし、銃を手にすることを拒む彼の姿勢は軍規違反とみなされ、仲間からは激しい虐待を受け、上官からは軍法会議へと追い込まれます。
己の信念を貫くための孤独な闘いの末、デズモンドはついに最前線である1945年の沖縄へと送り出されます。そこで待ち受けていたのは、「ハクソー・リッジ（前田高地）」と呼ばれる高さ120メートルの断崖絶壁でした。
一歩登れば、そこは生死が秒刻みで入れ替わる地獄の戦場。銃を持たず、聖書と救急箱だけを手に、デズモンドは仲間たちが「臆病」と断じたその信念だけを武器に、凄惨な嵐の中へと足を踏み入れます。
