Johnny Got His Gun
Trapped in a nightmarish existence after a catastrophic injury on the World War I front, a young soldier fights to maintain his sanity while stripped of his senses and connection to the world. Dalton Trumbo's unflinching masterpiece delivers a visceral, haunting indictment of the futility of war through the raw, fragmented consciousness of a man who has lost everything but his mind.
