Rendered deaf, blind, and paralyzed by his war injuries, a young American soldier retreats to his inner life before discovering a means to communicate with the outside world. Based on blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo’s 1939 novel, Johnny Got His Gun forcefully repudiates the glorification of war.
