In 1929 Lynchburg, Virginia, young Desmond Doss nearly kills his brother while roughhousing.

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brings the United States into World War II, Desmond enlists in the United States Army to serve as a combat medic.

Howell and Captain Glover's attempts to discharge Desmond for psychiatric reasons under Section 8 are overruled, as Desmond's religious beliefs do not constitute mental illness.
