What happens

The Unbreakable Boy is a 2025 American biographical drama film directed and written by Jon Gunn. It is based on the book The Unbreakable Boy: A Father's Fear, a Son's Courage, and a Story of Unconditional Love, authored by Scott Michael LeRette and Susy Flory, which is based on a true story. It stars Zachary Levi in the lead role alongside Meghann Fahy, Jacob Laval, Drew Powell, Gavin Warren, and Patricia Heaton. Lionsgate announced a feature-length film based on the book in November 2020, with Gunn attached as writer and director. Filming began that same month in Oklahoma and wrapped in December. Originally scheduled to be released in 2022, The Unbreakable Boy was delayed several times before being released in the United States by Lionsgate on February 21, 2025. The film received mixed reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
