Genre True Story
Unbroken is about a bombardier named Louis. He was a trouble maker as a kid but once he reached high school he started to run. He trained to be a runner and went to the Olympics in Germany. He was later drafted by the army and he joined the air force. He flew a B-24 called the Super Man. In battles they had a few close calls but one of the closest was when they were fired upon by the enemies and then they had to fly all the way back to base with 9 inch holes in the walls. One of the crew was hit by shrapnel and he did not make it. The plane would never fly again. Because of this they had to take a new plane with a few new crew members on a plane called the green hornet. It was a weird plane and Louis was not sure he would make it to his destination. He was correct and when one of the engines stalled they ended up going down. Only 3 of the 11 people on the boat were able to escape the wreckage and make it to the life rafts. With only a few chocolate bars and few jugs of clean water their chances of survival crept away as the days passed.
