Unbroken (2014)
Unbroken (2014) is an American biographical war drama film directed by Angelina Jolie and written by a team including the Coen brothers, Richard LaGravenese, and William Nicholson. Inspired by Laura Hillenbrand’s 2010 non-fiction book, also titled Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption, the story follows Louis ‘Louie’ Zamperini during his time as a bomber in World War II. While on a bombing mission in April 1943, Louie’s plane sustains damage and injuries occur among the crew. Despite the challenges, Louie’s skilled pilot manages to safely land the aircraft. In flashback scenes to his childhood in Torrance, California as an Italian-American boy, Louie is shown misbehaving by stealing, drinking alcohol, and smoking. He often faces discrimination for his ethnicity and is bullied by others. However, his brother Peter notices his speed and trains him to be a runner.
As a disciplined distance runner, Louie earns the nickname ‘The Torrance Tornado’ and even finishes 8th in the 1936 Summer Olympics. His record-setting performance in the final lap of the 5,000-meter race is impressive. When he returns to combat service in 1943, Louie joins a search-and-rescue mission with some surviving crew and a few replacements on an old plane. Unfortunately, one engine fails and they end up crashing into the ocean. On their 27th day floating on two inflatable rafts, they are noticed by a Japanese fighter plane which strafes and damages their rafts but misses them. Louie survives this terrifying ordeal alongside two others, Phil and Mac. Sadly, Mac passes away six days later and on the 47th day, Japanese sailors discover and capture Louie and Phil. From then on, they are prisoners of war held captive on Kwajalein Atoll.
