Unbroken

Unbroken is a war drama adapted from the book of the same name by Laura Hillenbrand, directed by Angelina Jolie (In the Land of Blood and Honey). The film stars Jack O’Connell, Domhnall Gleeson, Miyavi, Garrett Hedlund, and Finn Wittrock.

Set against the backdrop of a world teetering on the brink of collapse in the Pacific Theater of World War II, Unbroken follows the journey of Louie (Zamperini) from a carefree young scoundrel to a battle weary-yet-defiant POW who becomes a beacon of hope for a nation mired in global conflict. His tale, but a single page in the voluminous story of the brothers-in-arms who fought and turned the tide of 20th-century history, is one of tragedy to triumph—epitomizing what it means to fight one’s way out of darkness and into the light.

With her fledgling directorial career still taking shape, it wasn’t easy for Jolie to get the job directing Unbroken. “I had to fight to get the job. I had to fight very hard, not only prove to the studio I could do it, but later, to prove it to myself. And I also had to prove it to Louie, which took some time.”

Unbroken is rated 14A.
