Unbroken

Jolie next completed her second directorial venture, Unbroken, released in December 2014, about World War II hero Louis Zamperini (1917–2014), a former Olympic track star who survived a plane crash over the sea and spent two years in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. Financially, Unbroken far outperformed industry expectations in its opening weekend, eventually earning over $163 million worldwide.
