After surviving years of torture as a prisoner of war, Louis (Samuel Hunt) returns home from World War II, where he meets and marries Cynthia (Merritt Patterson). Haunted by his past, he is driven deep into despair. But when Cynthia turns to God at the 1949 Billy Graham Crusade, her most fervent prayer for Louis is to find peace and forgiveness. Based on Laura Hillenbrand's bestselling book, Unbroken: Path to Redemption is a "beautiful, beautiful film" (Kathie Lee Gifford, Today Show).

UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION Trailer, Clips, Featurettes, Images and Poster

The Christian drama "Unbroken: Path to Redemption" tells the amazing true story of Olympian and World War II veteran Louis Zamperini. Zamperini was also the focus of Angelina Jolie's 2014 war drama "Unbroken", which chronicled his survival as a prisoner of war in a series of Japanese camps after his bomber crash-landed in the ocean. Both films are based on the non-fiction book written by Laura Hillenbrand.

Directed by Harold Cronk ("God's Not Dead"), "Path to Redemption" picks up where Jolie's film left off, as Zamperini (Samuel Hunt) returns home after the war ends, haunted by nightmares of his ordeal and desire for revenge, which drive him deeper into despair. Merritt Patterson, Vincenzo Amato, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Bobby Campo and Bob Gunton co-star.

"Unbroken: Path to Redemption" opened in theaters on September 14, 2018 and received mostly negative reviews from critics. The film opened with $2.4 million from 1,620 theaters.

Weekend Box-Office: THE PREDATOR Disappoints Despite #1 Debut

"The Predator" claimed the top spot in its opening weekend, but 20th Century Fox has little to celebrate as the film delivered a pretty weak debut. Meanwhile Lionsgate's "A Simple Favor" performed very well. Pure Flix's "Unbroken: Path to Redemption", however, underperformed.

In Theaters: THE PREDATOR, A SIMPLE FAVOR, WHITE BOY RICK, UNBROKEN - PATH TO REDEMPTION and MANDY

If you've been itching for some R-rated alien mayhem, Shane Black's "The Predator", the fourth installment in the sci-fi horror Predator franchise, has landed in theaters. Overall the film looks like a bit of a disappointment for fans of the franchise, and the critical reception has been lukewarm, even slightly negative. Between the bad reviews and the controversy that has been circling the film's cast and director, the film might end up falling short of expectations in its opening weekend at the box-office.

Paul Feig's stylish thriller "A Simple Favor", which is now in theaters, has been getting a very positive reception and is expected to do well at the box-office over the weekend. Also, get ready for another awesome Matthew McConaughey performance in the fact-based crime drama "White Boy Rick".

If you enjoy faith-based dramas, here's another one this week, Pure Flix's biopic "Unbroken: Path to Redemption", a sequel of sorts that continues the story of Olympian and World War II hero Louis Zamperini, which was partially recounted in Angelina Jolie's 2014 drama "Unbroken". Both films are based on the non-fiction book by Laura Hillenbrand, "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption".

In limited release, watch Nicolas Cage go batshit crazy in the highly acclaimed 1980s-inspired exploitation film "Mandy".
