It's a filmed version of the one-man play "Johnny Got His Gun", based on Dalton Trumbo's novel. It's about an American soldier in WWI who is hit by a mortar shell and loses his limbs, eyes, ears and mouth, but can still think, rendering him a prisoner in his own body.
Edward Norton would be great for this part.

1971 version NOT at all exactly like the book, way off on that point... but it's great as is, just not so much like the book.
