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 ("Seabiscuit: An American Legend") 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."
The film is produced by Jolie, as well as Clayton Townsend (This Is 40), Matthew Baer (City by the Sea) and Erwin Stoff
(The Day the Earth Stood Still). Leading the accomplished behind-the-scenes crew is 11-time Oscar®-nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins (Skyfall).
