In Unbroken, the Academy Award winner directs and produces a biopic about the incredible life of Louis Zamperini, a 96-year-old former Olympic runner (in 1936) and World War II prisoner of war. Following a near-fatal plane crash during his time in the service, Zamperini (along with two other crewmen) survived in a raft for 47 days, only to be caught by the Japanese navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.
