The will to push through any obstacle, the drive to not give into defeat. These are the virtues that define the Olympic spirit. Universal Pictures has revealed a sneak peek at “Unbroken” in a special Olympics Preview piece featuring former Olympian Louis Zamperini’s miraculous journey of resilience. With new film footage, an interview with Louis and real footage and photos from his past, watch the Unbroken Olympics Preview narrated by Tom Brokaw.
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.
