Summary:
"After a shell leaves his body mangled on the final day of World War I, young Joe Bonham (Timothy Bottoms) lies trapped in a hospital bed, a fully conscious quadruple amputee who cannot speak, hear or see, left to wander within his own mind between his harsh reality and memories of a happier life long gone. Written and directed by Dalton Trubmo, the 'Hollywood Ten's' most celebrated screenwriter (Spartacus, Exodus, Roman Holiday). Johnny Got His Gun is based on his award-winning 1939 antiwar novel, which earned a new generation of fans during the Vietnam era. The film - which costars Jason Robards and features Donald Sutherland in a powerful performance as Jesus Christ - won the 1971 Cannes Film Festival's Grand Prix Spécial du Jury. Here at last on
