Andrew Garfield Premieres Hacksaw Ridge in LA

Andrew Garfield premiered his new film, Hacksaw Ridge last night, October 24 in Los Angeles. Andrew was joined at the premiere by the film’s director Mel Gibson, and his costars, Teresa Palmer, Luke Bracey and Vince Vaughn.

“HACKSAW RIDGE is the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss [Andrew Garfield] who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, as he believed that while the war was justified, killing was nevertheless wrong.

As an army medic, he 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. Doss was the first conscientious objector awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.”

The film will be released to theaters on November 4!
