📰 “The Unbreakable Boy” – When Fragility Becomes Unbreakable Strength

In a world of cinema often dominated by action-packed spectacles and mind-blowing special effects, The Unbreakable Boy arrives as a refreshing breeze—touching the hearts of audiences with its raw sincerity and an inspiring human story.

Here’s the trailer for The Unbreakable Boy (2025), an inspiring story based on the true events of Austin LeRette, a boy with brittle bone disease and autism, who has an incredible spirit that brings joy to those around him:

✨ A True Story, True Inspiration

Based on the heartfelt memoir by Scott Michael LeRette and Susy Flory, the film follows the life of Austin— a young boy with both autism and brittle bone disease. These two conditions make his body fragile, but his spirit is stronger than anyone could imagine.

In the role of Scott LeRette, Austin’s father, Zachary Levi (who previously wowed audiences in Shazam!) brings a completely different character to life: thoughtful, relatable, and sometimes awkward as he navigates the challenges of fatherhood. Scott initially struggles with the pressures of life—balancing work, family, and the painful reality of his son’s frequent fractures. However, it is Austin’s unshakable optimism that gradually transforms everything.

🎭 A Powerful and Honest Performance

Jacob Laval brings Austin to life with innocence, joy, and an unwavering belief in life. Without the need for grandiose speeches or melodramatic moments, this “unbreakable” boy captivates audiences through simple yet profound insights about life: “If I’m happy, then I’m just like everyone else—whether I’m sick or not.”

Zachary Levi also shows a remarkable transformation in his career. He portrays the struggles, the helplessness, and the eventual evolution of love and growth—a complex internal journey requiring subtlety and deep empathy.

🎬 No Need for Noise, Yet It Leaves a Strong Impact

Under the direction of Jon Gunn, each frame of The Unbreakable Boy is delicately crafted, accompanied by a tender piano score and intimate moments that feel like a warm hug amidst life’s storms.

The film doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of illness but never wallows in despair. Instead, it celebrates the most beautiful things in life: the strength of faith, the power of unconditional love, and the healing that comes from the most fragile of things.

🎟️ A Movie You Shouldn’t Miss

Released by Lionsgate in Spring 2025, The Unbreakable Boy is more than just a film—it’s a poignant reminder of the meaning of life, love, and resilience. It’s for those seeking hope, for parents, and for anyone who has ever felt “broken” in life.
