Sounds like "Johnny Got his Gun"
http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0067277/
If you're familiar with the rock band Metallica, the song "One" was inspired by this film and the video to it actually featured clips from the film.

Hope someone can help.
I?ve been asked to identify a film from about 25 years ago:
Set in the First World War
Lead character loses both arms and legs ? only thing working is his mind
Manages to indicate that he does not want to live. They turn off his support system but a passing nurse sees this and reconnects
Don?t know much else I?m afraid
