is the true story of Louis Zamperini’s ordeal as an army airman in the Pacific in WWII. It is a riveting story but NOT for everyone. Zamperini was adrift in a raft for 40+ days then spent 2+ years in a Japanese POW camp. He survives to tell his story in gory detail. One particular twist at the end may really disturb you.
