When you use M-x find-file-literally Emacs will not invoke a mode that is based on the file name. Instead, it uses fundamental-mode as the major mode.
From the command line you can use something like this:
emacs --eval '(find-file-literally "yourfile.ext")'

You can use the command @clemera provides to open a file in fundamental mode from the command line. You can do the same from an already-running Emacs via M-x find-file-literally. You can "turn-off" the major mode for a file you've already opened by selecting fundamental mode (which is basically "nothing mode"): M-x fundamental-mode
