Heads can be cut off, blood can be shed, as long as the doctrine is true! Describes the World War II American aviation soldier Zamperini is both a bombardier and an Olympic distance runner. During an aviation search and rescue of his comrades, his aircraft engine failed and unfortunately fell into the sea. After 42 days of fighting with the sea, he was unfortunately captured by the Japanese soldiers and suffered a lot. The physical torture destroyed his unexpectedly high fighting spirit. After returning to Japan after the war, he still treated the war criminals who tortured him with generosity and kindness, and ran in Japan at the age of 80 to fulfill his dream of missing the Olympic Games in Japan. . Although the war brings disasters, it will never erase the spirit of the Olympics. Humans live in peace and the world will live forever!

Phil: Yeah... most of them lost their minds, but they made it.
