Inspired by true events, this timeless classic follows the remarkable journey of York as he goes from a simple farm life in the hills of Tennessee to becoming an emblematic figure in American history.

As war erupts in Europe, York finds himself torn between his pacifist beliefs and a sense of duty to his country. Eventually, he enlists in the army, fully aware of the challenges that lie ahead.
