UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION has moved up its theatrical release date to Sept. 14, 2018. The film follows the second half of Laura Hillenbrand's New York Times best-selling book,Unbroken. It tells the inspiring and powerful Louis "Louie" Zamperini's post-World War II story and his struggle to find peace and forgiveness after his ruthless treatment as a Japanese prisoner of war. In theaters nationwide Sept. 14, 2018.
When the war ended, his battle began. Based on Laura Hillenbrand's best-selling book, UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION begins where the film UNBROKEN ends, bringing to life the rest of Olympian and World War II hero Louis Zamperini's powerful real-life story of forgiveness, redemption and amazing grace.
From the New York Times best-seller came the 2014 international-hit film UNBROKEN, fascinating viewers with LOUIE Zamperini's extraordinary story of endurance through a troubled childhood to the 1936 Olympics, followed by his enrollment in the Army where he was shot down in the Pacific, survived for weeks at sea, and was then severely brutalized as a Japanese prisoner of war. Still, many longed for the rest of the UNBROKEN story, where Zamperini the war hero, broken by PTSD, found faith at a Billy Graham Crusade and eventually forgave his World War II tormentors.
The "actor" playing Billy Graham in UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION is Will Graham-Billy Graham's grandson. Taking a short break from work with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Will gracefully stepped into the role of his grandfather during the famous L.A. Crusade, a pivotal period in Billy Graham's trajectory and in LOUIE Zamperini's life.
Laura Hillenbrand's book Unbroken spent more than four years on The New York Times best-seller list in hardcover, 15 weeks at No.1. The paperback debuted at No.1 and stayed there 20-plus weeks. The young reader edition also was a Times best-seller.
