Joe Bonham slowly discovers that while his brain is healthy and able to reason, the rest of his body is irreparably shattered, leaving him trapped within the confines of his own imagination.

National High School Campaign

Each year, thousands of high school students read Dalton Trumbo's National Book Award-winning novel, Johnny Got His Gun, as part of their English Literature, Social Studies, and Political Science classes. Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun, starring Ben McKenzie (Southland, The O.C., Junebug), was originally conceived to enhance those studies, as well as courses in Film, Theater Arts, Nursing, and Acting.

At a time when most schools no longer offer basic Civics courses, Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun offers a perspective beyond the video games and multimedia images which bombard students and all too often depersonalize the human aspect of war.

Included with the film are pre-screening and post-screening discussion guides, which offer educators an opportunity to explore and discuss with their students many of Trumbo's themes.

The National High School Campaign for Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun is working to match each high school library in the country with a donor willing to purchase a copy of the film for them.
