The film opens with Louis "Louie" Zamperini flying as a bombardier of a United States Army Air Forces B-24 Liberator bomber, during
an April 1943 bombing mission against the Japanese-held island of Nauru. The plane is badly damaged in combat, with a number of the
crew injured. The pilot, Phil, manages to bring it to a stop at the end of the runway thanks to an exploded tire. The story flashes
back to Louie's childhood as a young Italian-American boy in Torrance, California. Louie is a troublemaker. One day, Louie is caught
looking up women's dresses from under the bleachers during a track meet. His brother Peter sees how fast Louie runs away and decides
to train him to be a runner. As he grows, Louie becomes more disciplined and also becomes an accomplished distance runner, earning
him the nickname "The Torrance Tornado". He qualifies for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. Louie comes in 8th and sets
a record for speed in the final lap in the 5,000 meters race.
Returning to 1943, Louie, the surviving crew and several replacements are sent on a search-and-rescue mission with a plane previously
used for spare parts. During the mission, the plane's two left engines fail and the plane crashes in the ocean. Louie, Mac and Phil
survive and live on two inflatable rafts. After three days, a search plane flies over but they are unable to get its attention. They
weather a storm and fend off a shark attack while subsisting on rations, rainwater, birds and fish. On the 27th day, they get the
attention of a Japanese plane, which strafes and damages the rafts but misses them. On the 33rd day Mac dies. On the 47th day, Japanese
sailors capture Louie and Phil and they become prisoners of war. The Japanese ask Louie and Phil to tell them about B-class bombers.
Louie tells they flew D-class and draws a picture of a radio. Then, Louie and Phil are sent to different prisoner of war camps.
Louie's camp, Omori, in Tokyo, is headed by a Japanese corporal, Mutsuhiro Watanabe, who treats him very cruelly, in part because of
Louie's status as a former Olympian and American soldier. Watanabe is especially tough on Louie (presumably) out of jealousy and
hatred, beating him often. Louie is given an escape from Watanabe's torture when two Japanese newsmen give him the opportunity to
broadcast a message home saying that he is alive after they learn the US government classified him as KIA. When he refuses to broadcast
a second message with anti-American propaganda, he is sent back to camp where Watanabe has each of the other prisoners punch him to teach
him respect.
After two years, Watanabe gets a promotion and leaves the camp. The camp is damaged when Tokyo is bombed by American forces. Louie and
the other internees are forced to move to Naoetsu prison camp, where Louie discovers, to his horror, that Watanabe is in charge. The
prisoners are now put to work loading coal barges. Louie, exhausted, pauses during work, and Watanabe tells him to lift a giant piece
of wood and orders a guard to shoot Louie if he drops it. Louie successfully lifts and holds up the wood, angering Watanabe who beats him.
At the end of the war, Louie and the other prisoners in the camp are set free to return to their homes. Back home in America, he kisses
the ground and hugs his family.
