Unbroken, directed by Jolie, tells the story of WWII hero Louis "Louie" Zamperini, who survived for 47 days on a raft after his fighter plane crashed, only to be captured by the Japanese and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.
"Pope Francis, aware of the incredible life story of Louis Zamperini, graciously welcomed the opportunity to view the film," Universal Pictures said in a press release Thursday.
"To be invited to screen Unbroken at the Vatican is an honor and a tribute to Louie's legacy as a man of faith and someone who exemplified the power of forgiveness and the strength of the human spirit," Jolie said.
