Description: Unbroken: Path to Redemption is a 2018 American Christian drama film directed by Harold Cronk. Serving as a sequel to the 2014 film *Unbroken*, it features none of the original cast or crew except producer Matthew Baer and actors Vincenzo Amato and Maddalena Ischiale. The movie follows the life of Louis Zamperini after his return from World War II, depicting his struggles to readjust to civilian life and his eventual embrace of evangelical Christianity after attending one of Billy Graham’s church revivals. Starring Samuel Hunt as Zamperini, alongside Merritt Patterson, Vincenzo Amato, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Bobby Campo, Bob Gunton, Maddalena Ischiale, David Sakurai, and Gary Cole, the film also features evangelist Will Graham portraying his grandfather, Billy Graham.
Released theatrically by Pure Flix Entertainment on September 14, 2018, *Unbroken: Path to Redemption* received mostly negative reviews, with critics describing it as a “dull drama.” It grossed $6 million, matching its production budget. Based on Laura Hillenbrand’s bestselling book, the film picks up where *Unbroken* left off, continuing the true story of Olympic athlete and World War II veteran Louis Zamperini. Tormented by nightmares of his wartime experiences, Zamperini struggles to see himself as a hero. His life takes a turn when he meets and falls in love with Cynthia, though his quest for revenge drives him into despair, nearly destroying their marriage. Their lives change after attending Billy Graham’s 1949 Los Angeles Crusade, where they find faith in Jesus Christ, renew their commitment to each other, and Zamperini learns to forgive his wartime captors.
