Märksõna World War Ii

"Hacksaw Ridge'i lahing" on erakordne tõestisündinud lugu sõjaväeteenistusest keeldunud Desmond Dossist (Andrew Garfield), kes päästis Okinawas II maailmasõja veriseima lahingu käigus 75 meest, ilma et oleks kordagi relvast tulistanud. Ta uskus, et sõda on vajalik, aga tapmine mitte. Ta oli II maailmasõja ajal ainus Ameerika sõdur, kes võitles eesliinil ilma relvata. Sõjaväearstina päästis Doss vigastatuid vaenlase tagalast, ravis sõdureid, trotsides kuulirahet, ning sai ise viimaks haavata, kui lõhkes granaat ja teda tulistasid snaiprid. Ta oli esimene sõjaväeteenistusest keelduja, kellele anti Kongressi aumedal.

Film jutustab uskumatu ja seni kuulmata tõestisündinud loo esimesest eriüksusest, mille asutasid teise maailmasõja päevil ÜK peaminister Winston Churchill ja veel mõned sõjaväe ametnikud, kelle seas oli ka kirjanik Ian Fleming. Isepäistest sõduritest koosnev ülisalajane üksus asus natsidega võitlusse täiesti tavatuid ja äärmiselt väärituid võtteid kasutades. Nende julge lähenemine muutis sõja kulgu ja pani aluse Briti SAS-ile ja tänapäevastele salaoperatsioonidele.

Marshall näeb võimalust kergendada oma kannatusi, kui ta saab teada neljandast vennast, eraviisilisest James Ryanist, ja otsustab saata kaheksa meest (kapten Miller ja tema pataljonist valitud rühm) leidma teda ja tagasta ta ema majja.

Teise maailmasõja ajal valitakse grupp juudi-ameerika sõdureid tuntud kui Tõprad, et levitada hirmu läbi terve Kolmanda Reichi skalpeerides ja tappes jõhkralt natse.

Üksinda, võideldes päev-päevalt ellujäämise nimel, rändab ta inimtühjas linnas. Selles meeleheites pakub talle lohutust tema muusika. Kuid siis võtab just nimelt üks saksa ohvitser enda peale riski ja otsustab juudi päritolu muusikut varjata.

Saladuslik ja vahepealne film, mis jutustab Grace'ist (Nicole Kidman), kes üksi isoleeritud viktoriaanlikus majas oma lapsi rangete religioossete reeglite kohaselt koolitab. Lapsed põevad imelikku haigust: nad ei saa päevavalgust otseselt kätte.
