Ben McKenzie in "Dalton Trumbo's JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN"

Ben McKenzie (Southland, The O.C., Junebug) stars in a 'live on stage, on film' version of the award-winning Off-Broadway stage monologue based on Dalton Trumbo's classic anti-war novel, 'Johnny Got His Gun.' The film takes place in the mind of an American soldier hit by an artillery shell on the last day of WWI; a quadruple amputee who has also lost his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Regaining consciousness, Joe Bonham discovers that while his brain is healthy and able to reason, the rest of his body is irreparably shattered, leaving him trapped forever within the confines of his own imagination. He struggles to find some way to communicate with the outside world. Tapping his head in Morse code, he breaks through and pleads with his caretakers to be put on display as a living example of the cost of war. The film explores the interplay between science, medicine, religion, and politics.
