“Unbroken” is an epic drama that follows the incredible life of Olympian and war hero Louis "Louie" Zamperini (Jack O'Connell). Zamperini and his fellow airmen, Phil (Domhnall Gleeson) and Mac (Finn Wittrock), survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in World War II, only to be captured by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.
Director (and co-producer) Angelina Jolie shot some of the most dramatic and challenging scenes on location far out at sea in Moreton Bay, Australia.
