As a boy, Louis "Louie" Zamperini is always in trouble, but with the help of his older brother, he turns his life around and channels his energy into running, later qualifying for the 1936 Olympics. When World War II breaks out, Louie enlists in the military. After his plane crashes in the Pacific, he survives an incredible 47 days adrift in a raft, until his capture by the Japanese navy. Sent to a POW camp, Louie becomes the favorite target of a particularly cruel prison commander.

My dad was the nose gunner in a Liberator. Shot down over Hungary, he was going to get run through by pitchforks from angry peasants but a Hungarian soldier showed up and took him prisoner. Spent 11 months in a Stalagluft in northern Poland, was marched into Germany as the Red Army approached. Was liberatied by the British somewhere in Germany. Went to many Bomb Group reunions with him. RIP Dad.
Before you were born?

@@AB-bg7osyour country was defeated
The cgi in this scene is actually really well done. And that shot of the sunrise as the bombers approach is gorgeous
Yes, mostly in movies, airplanes move unnaturally fast and perform absurd maneuvers. Plus hundreds of cuts and weird shots. But here the director is not the testosterone-packed Michael Bay but Angelina Jolie ;)
A bit quiet though
It's just that, because it's CGI they choose all these ridiculous camera angles because it "looks cool" but all it does is make your brain immediately go "ah this is CGI". Personally I would direct the CGI as if I was filming it for real, or as close as possible. Now it all just looks super fake, like most modern war movies.
That's why Maverick was so good, because they actually got actors in actual planes.
A woman produced this... I am ashamed @@MichalKaczorowski
Are you not entertained?@@celinamilian
I love how calm and collected they all are. No screaming, no yelling. Just keeping calm while communicating and working through the issue. The time to grieve is later.
If you do it enough times, it becomes "normal" and you know how to focus and do what is needed.
No wind or noise.
That's Hollywood for you
You should watch Memphis Belle then.
The women and children in the fire bombed cities screamed.
When i was a kid, the guy who lived across from my Grandparents had a garage full of RC planes. Turns out he flew 27 or 28 missions with the 8 Air Corp over Europe during WW2. Absolutely nuts how he managed to survive that many missions. I remember him showing me pictures of his crew coming back with just about half of a plane. Just unreal.
Had a scout master that flew with the 8th Air Force in 24s. He told me stories after I was in the Marines.
Thanks for sharing. I can share a similar story, but it's from the "opposite side" so to speak: when my Grandpa was 15 or 16, he and his school mates were drafted into the Flak crews that had to protect major German cities. His Flak battery was located in the industrial park of the city of Braunschweig.
When I was a kid, he sometimes showed me pictures of his comrades, their battery and a Flying Fortress they had shot down. They sure looked proud on those pictures. Now 40 years later I wish I had asked more questions, but as a kid, I just didn't think of them... Like: did these boys operate the Flak on their own? Or did they have an adult officer commanding them? How much training did they get, before they had to go into combat? Did he know what happened to the crew of that American bomber? Did they die in the crash, or was the plane still able to make a "controlled landing" and they were taken to a PoW camp? From what I can still remember, the hull still looked pretty much intact. It was lying in a potato field and the wings, tail, propellers and other debris was scattered around it. (Obviously, it was far away from the Flak position, so the boys must have made a trip to the crash site after alarm was over or after their shift had ended?!)
Isn't it crazy: now almost 80 years later thanks to TH-cam & the internet, you and me can share these stories with each other, your Grandparents' friend showing you pictures of his bomber and my Grandpa showing me pictures of "his" Flak and a bomber he helped shooting down...
@@ulrichschmidt5559 yea and a lot of people would call your grandpa a terrible person but in reality, at least in stories I have heard, german soldiers didnt really care about the politics, just keeping their comrades and family safe. I hope he had a good life and sorry for your loss
@@SyrupDipper "german soldiers didnt really care about the politics"
I guess then it's fine. Maybe if they cared about the politics a little more, there wouldn't have been a Holocaust.
@@wawawuu1514 yea true, but it was hard to, I mean if you got caught plotting a rebellion or something, you were killed. A huge number of soldiers would all have to rebel at the same exact time to have any affect. Also, they wouldnt have much reason to do so, hitler advertised his concentration camps as like a vacation where families are taught good lessons to become good citizens, not death and torture factories.
My great grandfather was the lower ball turret gunner in a B-24, glad to see the movie doing it proud!
I appreciate your grandfather and your comment. To me this scene is pretty realistic. No exaggerated AA fire on Japanese-held island, no planes exploding in the air, hard work for light Zeros to shut down a B-24 even without escort, yet still capable to damage it significantly, equally hard for B-24's crew to defend it and yes.. couple of real heroes wounded on the board.
my grandfather was a high ranking chief in the germen army so proud of him i look up to him he was one of the officers commanding in normandy
@@imamhussainibnmuawiya8630 what was his killstreak?
@@zlatanclovecic1944 Pretty realistic... muhahaha Four killed Zero's by a single B-24. It's complete Hollywood bullshit. Never happens. I love this really bad made movies. It's like comedy.
A great task for small men, no kidding. It took a special type of person to do that work, down there, exposed, always at risk of the turret getting stuck and the ship having to make a belly landing. Bless him; hope he made it thru the war in one piece.
My Father served as a Flight Engineer aboard B24's in the Pacific during WW2. The Engineer also manned the top gun turret. From there, he could keep a good eye on the engines.
You must be proud, I'll admit war is hell, but your father had more balls than anyone from this generation and generations to continue. I cannot Fandom flying out there and luckily returning safe and sound and then doing it all over again balls of titanium right that what a MAN.
@@SCOOBMAN There's a reason that they are referred to as 'The Greatest Generation'! We owe them much!
My grandfather was the flight engineer / top turret gunner in B-17’s flying with the 15 th Air Force out of Italy in 1944/45.
The film portrays them as very young as they really were at the time. No old actors like in some hollywood movies
yes, and in the older movies, the actors were heterosexuals & better actors.
@@MrNobody55555
EXACTLY!! Guys like Rock Hudson, and Montgomery Clift, and ... Marlon Brando? Maybe Randolf Scott? Cary Grant??!
A few things to think about:- The Norden Bomb sight was better than the British version but only over 20’000 ft. But both needed clear sky to see the target. Consequently we saw the development of electronic navigation systems. All those 50 call guns came at a price in bomb load:-
B17 = 2 Tons load, B24 = 4 Tons load
Lancaster with mostly 303 cal = 6 to 10 Tons.
Yeah, not to get too technical here and all...but I like how the dude gets hit by two bullets in chest and head(7.7mm is what Zero was spitting) and they fix it all with just handkerchief and a good old... "I got you buddy... I got you" .😆😅🤣😂🤣😂😦😦
Errrrr Not exactly. The JaP ZERO HAD 20mm cannons too.@@FenderBender5150
@@FenderBender5150 might have been hit by shrapnel.
@@MrChickennugget360 UHm? What shrapnal? The whole thing was made out Aluminum and fiber glass
I doubt that 10 or 12 50 cal machineguns weigh 2 or 4 tons more that 10 303's
The hell these young men went through.
my father's cousin was a pilot of a Halifax bomber. I just learned that recently and have been reading/learning all about his service. He was a member of the RCAF and flew 18 missions. He was a part of Operation Hydra and was killed when his bomber was damaged and went down that night. He kept the plane up and level long enough for his crew to jump out. He, along with one of his Sergeants, was killed when the plane crashed. My ultimate goal is to visit his gravesite at the Berlin War Cemetery.
I wish war thunder bombing missions went this easy.
Only if you outrun the p-26 slowly headed towards you
it wasn't easy tho, just another day on the job for them
@@spitfiremkiv339 wasn't easy in reality but this movie is very far from it. A solo bomber would have been picked off by the first fighter.
Skill issue
Attention to the designated grid zone!
The effectiveness of bomber guns is overplayed here, but nonetheless, on the budget, it's nicely done.
I thought the same thing! Who needs fighter escort with those gunners! LOL
You should read the book this movie is based on. The crew of "Super Man" (along with the rest of the formation) actually did shoot down those fighters and actually sustained more damage than what is depicted here. It was verified that not a single Japanese plane that took off to defend the island made it back home.
@@camward9293 Probably one of those cocky pilot story written by someone so naïve as you are...
@@Ixyon77 That's a weird way to say you haven't read the book lol
@@camward9293 That's the weirdest way to say you can't understand a comment properly...
Stepping out onto a catwalk in the bomb compartment, the doors are open, no safety harness, no parachute and under enemy fire. Those men were a level of badass that our generations will never even dream of being. RESPECT.

@@canyonoverland5003 Can't blame yourself for struggles you did not have to endure.
Bout time we see some love for the B-24 Liberator, most movies include HE-111’s, Lancaster’s, B-17 Flying Fortresses, and B-25(DoLittle Raid) and we never see the B-24 until this movie.
B-17s were also used in the Pacific to an extent but were later assigned to use in Europe.
Yeah, the B-17's in the pacific were replaced with B-29's
@@justarandomsubnauticaplayer B-24s for shorter range, B-29s for longer range missions.
The suspense to be inside of these bombers. Always getting flak, and the target isn't always military targets. War is hell indeed.
My dad served in what became the US Air Force during WWII and was stationed in England for his tour! He was a radio operator on B24’s!
The Norden was very accurate -- the bombs hit the ground every time!
А без "Нордена" бомбы улетели бы в космос? )))
Read a book once that said the accuracy rate for target hits, was about twenty five percent.
@@stephensmith7293 I don't think it was anywhere close to that.
@@tonyennis1787 Obviously destruction was the main aim of a bombing raid but breaking the morale of the civilian population was almost as important and every bomb that detonates, whether or not it kills, affects those on the ground. As a small child I was 200 yards from the impact of a V1 flying bomb - 80 years later I can still remember how a group of adults were utterly terrified as they waited for the explosion!
Fantastic scene and movie, but the fact that there's less sound in that B-24 than onboard a 737 commercial plane I sincerely doubt.
It is a MOVIE
Certain "realistic elements" would render any footage unwatchable
Many pilots grew deaf in their left ears while the co-pilots grew deaf in their right ears due to serving aboard B-24's.
Look, even commercial flight videos on youtube get its sound feed directly from the radio. Why? It is because the cabin noise disrupts the listening environment of viewers.
My grandfather wore hearing aids after piloting a 24. All four engines added up to 5,200 HP, which at 150 each is the same as 35 cars revving 20 feet away from you, for five or so hours.
Father-in-law’s bomber continued patrols over Japan after the surrender, but even after the official surrender was still getting shot at for weeks after still. He was 19 by the end.
can you blame them? used for 2 nuclear experiments,long lasting damage to DNA,worse then our depression and flying over your country to basically give a middle finger to you so yeah the pot shots and understandable lol same with the south in the US the north were terrorist and burned farms and killed family and children. starved us all when we wanted independence.
Thats crazy, do you mean by airplaines?? Or was there just random AA guns still scattered?
Really want more movies about bombardier
Watch the documentary about the longest bombing run in the Falkland war
Give Memphis Belle a watch if you haven't
@@talkingfish2382 I’ve watched it. It is one of the best movieI have ever watched.
@@gavin-cy dambusters is old but good!
Only thing that really stands out to me is how they're lead ship but end up flying alone for the entire fight (no layered cover from other bombers). Other than that, it stands up pretty well!
Probably because bomb bay doors are stuck open, unable to keep up with the rest of the formation
In the biography, it states superman(the b24 zamperini was assigned to) thebomb bay doors were stuck open, and the plan kept dutch rolling so it lagged behind the formation. It was common practice to leave struggling bombers behind bc endangered the rest.
Took a ride in B17. You have as much protection from bullets as you have from a beer can.
I did that to
I ised to go to Church with an opd gentlemen who'd been a gunner on one of those things...he said his knees shook from fear so badly every time that he could barely crawl onto the plane....
How did we go from 18 year olds being the maturity of 50 year olds to 50 year olds being at the maturity level of 18 year olds?

OK... That bomber vaporized 5 Zero in mid air without going down... That's a complete Hollywood ratio.
The book mentions that they did shoot down 5 zeros, but it was with the rest of the bomber formation. Not just on their own.
@@scottishscott3504 Here I see one bomber shooting down 5 Zero. So that's a Hollywood ratio. Don't give a god damn s... about the book.
Sgt Benko of the 308th bomb group in China was first or second scoring gunner in the war. An officer was sent as an observer on a mission because they didn't believe his success. On that mission he shot down 7 Japanese fighters. He had been Arizona state skeet champion. His plane was the Goon.

Facts
Nobody on comms ever called "pilot to bombardier."
The crews on these planes were closer than brothers.
They lived and died together in the worst conditions imaginable.
When you called someone on comms, you called them by their nickname.
Hollywood really needs to stop doing that "pilot to bombadier" nonsense.
I suppose someone might have done it once as a joke, but never for real.
My uncle was a door gunner on a B25 and flew in the raid on Remagen.
He had been a pilot instructor for most of the war and he insisted on going where he had trained so many to fight.
They bombed the 88s on the hills and escaped by flying down the streets of the city.
They were so low, they had to look up to see the German people looking out their windows.
It must have been a hell of a thing. Supermen... one and all... the greatest generation.
My father was a waste gun/radio operator over Palawan B24 and later transferred to P38 recon. He had Apple Creates full of pictures, and my mother threw them out even after I begged her to give them to me for safekeeping. That generation wasn't into passing on family history. I remember sneaking into the attic to view these pictures. Oh, well, flashbacks watching this short movie.
Jimmy Stewart was a flight leader on B24s, did 50 missions, they sent him home cos he started seeing an invisible rabbit friend named Harvey......
The film highlights American heroism, it's worth acknowledging that all nations involved in WWII had their own stories of struggle and sacrifice.
really? I thought WWII was just americans vs americans
American heroism-are you serios?😂

“It doesn't make a damned bit of difference who wins the war to someone who's dead.”
― Joseph Heller, Catch-22
So if someone forces their way into your home you wouldn’t defend your family, even if it cost your life?
@@danielmeadows3712 That's a pretty lame comparison.

@@BeardsleyMarkIt was spoken by Yossarian (probably) so it's a deliberately self-centred, self-preservationist, myopic line. He has no family, friends, or real connections to anyone. Such a great novel.
My uncle taught pilots how to fly the B-17 at Shepard Air Force Base during the war. I always liked watching movies like this even though this is about the B-24 my uncle had a lot of air paintings and memorabilia from the war a cool man cave.
Sometimes the captain would after touching down ( no brakes ) instruct crew to rearward tail section to apply weight over deployed tail skid holding nose off as long as possible.
Some speed scrub available. Also after sufficient reduction of ground speed crew chutes attached to waist guns could be rip cord pulled for impromptu drag chutes.
Rudder inputs to try to maintain runway alignment until enough authority still left to attempt ground loop.
Air craft to damaged try to attempt bailout over friendly territory.
Oft times simply no option as aircraft destroyed.
My granddad was in the USAAF in the Pacific and he was initially a ball turret gunner on a Lib, before finding out the Japanese frequently were shooting out the landing gear on planes so that at least 1 guy, the ball turret gunner, would die in a landing. He moved to another position on the plane before eventually being a part of the ground crew for the Enola Gay. Changed her spark plugs the morning of Hiroshima
Why would the ball turret gunner be still in the turret during landing and if they're accurate enough to aim for the landing gears why don't they just shoot out the engines instead?
@@lzl4226 Ball turrets were, at least early in the war, unreliable. Gunners got stuck in them until return to base. Donald L Miller mentions these kind of incidents in Masters of the Air. If I remember correctly, there was also a picture, or maybe it was so vividly described that I painted the picture in my mind.
@@samulilahnamaki3127 If that were the case wouldn't they bring some kind of tool onboard, like a pickaxe or something to dig hims out. I mean I can't imagine a case where knowing the landing gear is broken, and your friend is going to be crushed to death and doing nothing about it.
@@lzl4226 I don't have the book here to check. But what I remember, hatch of the ball can be opened only in one position and if ball got stuck in any other, it was impossible to get gunner out. I've seen B-17 in Chino museum and that ball is quite small. Metal and small windows, might be impossible to get through from any other way. Of course crews tried to get gunner out to the last moment, but at some point fuel run out. I highly recommend that book, tv series is coming in January.
No offense to your grandad's war stories, but that seems extraordinarily unlikely. lzl4226's above post covers some of the most glaring reasons why.
Me parese aver visto esata partes antes😢 fueron os mejores heroes en vida real

I would NEVER get into a bomber. Don't have the stones for it and I am not ashamed to admit it.
bombers nowadays are stealth meaning you wont get intercepted
How can you tell you dont have the stones? Nobody can declare themselves a hero or a coward forehand. Only the real thing determines that....something only our grandpas had the chance for. Thank God that we were never offered the chance to prove ourselves, that we were never needed in this same duty than some in our grandfathers generation...
I do.
BS@@Cybernaut76
Feel your chances are better going infantry? No thanks.
Just a note here. When you get hit by bullet from a plane it's not the same as the normal bullets. The small hole shown in the movie will be more like 10 inch see through hole or even dismemberment.
They were shooting rifle caliber bullets.
The Zero had two rifle caliber machine guns. He probably got hit with those instead of it's 20's.
The CGI and effects in this scene (and subsequent ones too - like the B-24 crash landing later) are at least on par (if not above) those from the 'Masters of the Air' Apple TV series. The only thing that may have been a tad underwhelming in this battle scene is that the appropriate level of damage from 20mm shell hits from the A6M Zeros didn't seem to be accounted for (damage-wise on the B-24). Other than that, it is absolutely outstanding - effects-wise!
Think I’d feel better in a B-17, or B-29 if entered later in the war. B-24s were notorious for catching fire real quick
It's sounds like they're riding in the back of a Lincoln Towncar.
My Father was wounded and shot down in a B-24D Liberator over Germany! Was captured and became POW. LIBERATED..

Scoring hits while shooting without lead, and a Norden bombsight that releases the payload upon locking in the target....oh boy.

Shouldn't they also be wearing flak jackets?
nah. cost too much

It was refreshing to see Liberators getting some film time for once instead of Flying Fortresses. They were more numerous, after all - almost 19,000 Liberators built compared to almost 13,000 Fortresses.
this movie doesn't capture the desperation and hardship these men went through at all.

@@lowe_sa2976 dont be disrespectful
My own Dad flew the ball turret in the CBI. He used to say that the B-24 was the box that the B-17 came in. 😅 Also, he said that his aircraft commander would climb his plane to a higher altitude when they saw the 17's dive down to where the 17's were and had already cut 3 engines as they flew past the flight of 17's. Made the 17 crews think the 24 could fly faster on 1 engine than the 17 could on 4! 😅
My late uncle flew B-17s from Kimbolton England with the 379th Bomb Group of the 8th Air Force and missed Second Schweinfurt by a month and a half.
i prefer how the fight is filmed in unbroken, this tv show is like red tails, very hollywood, fast action and fireballs style
Amazing those planes could take off at all with the weight of those massive brass balls.
Where is the wind and cold !!!!!!! This is absolutly unreal video !!!
They were in the pacific theater it was warm
I have this film, and liked that Angelina Jolie directed this, and also liked Katheryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker, and Zero Dark Thirty. It doesn't matter to me if it is a woman, or man who directs any war oriented feature, I am going to watch.
Take care, and all the best.
Culture wars is artificial anyway - used to divide people, emerged as a counterattack to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Implemented by the exploitation of social media algorithms, which encourage outrage to drive engagement. Never get baited into taking sides in the culture wars/identity politics!
Great book to read also.
So that’s what General Hux has been doing
I wish that the portrayals of flak weren't so overdone. If you've ever seen footage of real bombing missions it just isn't nearly that thick. But in scenes like this every one of of those flak bursts that are within 100-feet of the the aircraft should be doing significant damage, probably even fatal damage, but they are not. In close ups they're showing AA shells like that one at 2:09 -- it literally blows up right outside the cockpit and between two bombers so you know it had to be really close. That window should be gone. Both planes would have absorbed a whole lot of shrapnel and the closer one probably would have it's right wing and engines fatally shredded. Somewhere along the line Hollywood started believing that AA shells have to actually hit the planes as they explode to do any damage - but they are area-effect weapons and close is good enough. ...same with Depth Charges.
The air in the cabin is perfectly still despite there being massive open air gun ports
Reminds me of my bombing missions on Fighter Ace 3.5.
Absolutely brilliant movie, hard to watch and stay impartial, now that the Japanese are now are mates,
It’s just crazy to think this is how they fought compared to modern ware fare, they just flew directly into enemy defense hopefuls it wouldn’t blow them out of the sky.
Even at that altitude, I'm pretty sure that the air crew would have been wearing oxygen masks and more clothing than that
the captain says 8000 feet
I wish my uncle paul was still alive to see this he was a bombardier in a B-24 flying from Africa to italy . He had a big chunk blown of his butt got a purple heart he said he would rather have his butt back . But it's some where over Italy, he gone now along with all his friends great uncle just the best.
It's amazing to think today's fighter jets can carry more bombs than WW2 era heavy bombers
...plus the weight of the bomber
The rear tail gun.. makes me wanna scream.
Also happy that they got the armor on the tail gunners rear, he had armor there.
Ball gunner.
This is absolutly unreal video, crew members were much more protected against shrapnell with heavy vests. It was cold at this altitude etc.
planes where lightly armoured.... due to weight of taking off carrying their bombs..
While they did *sometimes* have vests, the crews in the Pacific Theatre did much lower level missions than their European counterparts. You even hear the wing commander at the beginning of the clip go "At 8,000 feet, this is it boys." Nobody needs supplemental oxygen at 8,000 feet, much less a thick winter coat.
🙏 We lost so many Good Innocent Men , Women & Children during WWII ... May the innocently Departed Souls be Blessed to a Better World & Realm ... & be Reunited with Their Loved Ones in due Time & Space ... 🕯🌼🌿🌍🕊
That moment when you know you have to switch to your secondary aircraft in WT
My Dad flew B24s over Europe and lived to tell the tale. Scares me to watch these.
NO way there'd be a navigator wearing glasses on aircrew
had this on loop for 3 hours. 10/10 ASMR
This was well done except for... you could not hear yourself let alone have a conversation in those aircraft. So loud it is deafening and that would be even without all the guns firing and AA around
That's why they have mics headsets and intercoms. And radios.
bet folks hought this was real til they read the video info..spectacular
Yea, there's no way it's that quiet inside a B24 with all the hatches open
Uh, Yeah - those are some tough men, in this movie - considering that it's minus 50° and they're just wearing jackets
Nah, they weren't high enough for it to be 50 below zero. That was in Europe where missions were flown at 30,000 feet.
lol @ "minus 50"
what is the title of the movie ?
Actually historically accurate in a sense...
ok so wtf do sdlaps have to do with brakes? flaps are on the wings brakes are on the landing gear.... completely seperate system
name ?!🔥🔥🔥
i was unaware general hux fought in ww2
What do you think they used to destroy hiroshima and nagasaki? The death star of course.
@@yusufbektas1961 makes since considering Hux was imperial before he was first order
The sound level from the engines is way too low.
