Mel Gibson's acclaimed World War II drama Hacksaw Ridge has become available on Paramount+ following its July 1 debut on the platform. The film, which premiered roughly a decade ago, garnered strong critical reception with an 84% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and won two Academy Awards for sound mixing and film editing out of six nominations.

The article notes that Gibson's recent return to directing came with Flight Risk, a thriller starring Mark Wahlberg that underperformed commercially in January 2025, earning only $48.7 million globally. Gibson's nine-year absence from the director's chair before Flight Risk was attributed to development time on other projects rather than lack of interest in his previous work.
