Johnny Got His Gun

1971, Dalton Trumbo

4.8/5

Johnny Got His Gun is a 1971 American drama anti-war film written and directed by Dalton Trumbo based on his 1939 novel of the same name, with an uncredited writing collaboration by Luis Buñuel. The film stars Timothy Bottoms, Kathy Fields, Marsha Hunt, Jason Robards, Donald Sutherland and Diane Varsi.

Although a minor success on initial release, it was largely forgotten soon after by mass audiences. It became far better known when it was incorporated in the music video for Metallica's song "One", whose popularity subsequently turned Johnny Got His Gun into a cult film. Eventually, Metallica bought the film rights in order to keep showing the music video without having to pay additional royalty fees.

If you like Johnny Got His Gun, you might also like Films Set In The 1910s, Cannes Grand Prix Winners, Metallica Songs, and Films Scored By Jerry Fielding.
