Unbroken Movie Quotes

“Unbroken” movie quotes tell the true story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic athlete who went on to survive a plane crash in the Pacific and a stay in a Japanese prisoner of war camp during World War II. The war drama film was directed by Angelina Jolie using a screenplay Joel and Ethan Coen, Richard LaGravenese and William Nicholson adapted from the non-fiction book “Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption” by Laura Hillenbrand. “Unbroken” opened in theaters in the United States on December 25, 2014.

In “Unbroken,” Louis Zamperini (C.J. Valleroy, young; Jack O'Connell, older) was quite the rebel as a child, getting into a fair amount of trouble at a young age. His brother Pete (John D'Leo, young; Alex Russell, older) stepped in to encourage him to train as a runner, something that later earned him a spot at the 1936 Olympics.

Zamperini went on to join the United States Army Air Forces and flew a B-24 Liberator bomber over the Pacific when it was shot down. He and his crew spent 47 days adrift before reaching land where they were captured by the Japanese Army and sent to a prisoner of war camp. At the camp, Zamperini was subject to torments from prison guard Mutsuhiro Watanabe (Miyavi) and pushed to incredible lengths both mentally and physically until the war ended. Throughout it all though, Zamperini persevered, remembering the words of his brother and of his faith, to get him through the unimaginable.

“Unbroken” is just one of many great films playing on Christmas 2014 including ”The Interview,” ”The Gambler,” ”The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” ”Annie,” ”Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,” ”Mr. Turner,” "Life Partners," "Comet," "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1," and "Horrible Bosses 2.
