The acclaimed Kingdom Story Company and Lionsgate brings you “The Unbreakable Boy” an adaptation of the book by the same name, by Scott LeRette with Susy Flory. An extraordinary true story about a father and son learning together that every day can be the best day of your life!
Intro from the book: “The Unbreakable Boy is the raucously tender story of the life of a teenage boy with a rare brittle-bone disease who joyfully embraces life’s tragedies and triumphs. Like any other teenage boy, Austin loves pizza, movies, dancing, and girls. But unlike most other 18-year-olds, he has a rare brittle-bone disease, was locked in a mental ward as a child, and is autistic. Yet Austin doesn’t let any of that stop him.” What makes him unique is his joyous, funny, life-affirming world view that transforms & unites everyone around him.
The trailer has given a sneak peek into Austin’s dramatic journey as he tries to balance his medical condition and life as a kid. When his parents, Scott (Zachary Levi) & Teresa (Meghann Fahy), learn that Austin is both autistic & has brittle bone disease, it casts a shadow on their son’s future. We also witness Austin’s beautiful relationship with his father, who always supports him no matter how hard things get. This further justifies the movie’s title as well.
With Scott’s growing faith and Austin’s incredible spirit, they become “unbreakable,” finding joy, gratitude, and courage even in the most trying times.
Adding to the cast is Jacob Laval (as Austin LeRette, the 13-year-old boy with autism spectrum with brittle bone disease), Drew Powell (as Joe), Patricia Heaton (as Scott’s Mom, Marcia), Toddy Terry (as Scott’s Dad, Dick), Peter Facinelli (as Preacher Rick), and Gavin Warren (as Logan LeRette).
Fans of inspiring family stories and heartwarming narratives will not want to miss this powerful cinematic experience.
