Unbroken, based on the incredible true storry of American hero Louis Zamperini, is one of the sure bets for this coming Oscar season. If you doubt that’s true, just watch the new trailer and tell me it’s not the sort of film that Academy voters love to honor. Based on the bestselling book by Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken was directed by Angelina Jolie and stars Jack O’Connell as Zamperini, Garrett Hedlund, Domhnall Gleeson, John Magaro, Alex Russell, and Finn Wittrock.
The Unbroken Plot:
Academy Award® winner Angelina Jolie directs and produces Unbroken, an epic drama that follows the incredible life of Olympian and war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini (Jack O’Connell) who, along with two other crewmen, survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII—only to be caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.
Adapted from Laura Hillenbrand’s enormously popular book, Unbroken brings to the big screen Zamperini’s unbelievable and inspiring true story about the resilient power of the human spirit.
Starring alongside O’Connell are Domhnall Gleeson and Finn Wittrock as Phil and Mac—the airmen with whom Zamperini endured perilous weeks adrift in the open Pacific—Garrett Hedlund and John Magaro as fellow POWs who find an unexpected camaraderie during their internment, Alex Russell as Zamperini’s brother, Pete, and in his English-language feature debut, Japanese actor Miyavi as the brutal camp guard known only to the men as “The Bird.”
