Unbreakable

Unbreakable (2000) is a mystery thriller by M. Night Shyamalan — watch it online on iFILM. Bruce Willis plays David Dunn, a stadium security guard who walks away from a catastrophic train wreck without a scratch. Every other passenger on board died. Produced by Touchstone Pictures and Blinding Edge Pictures, the film runs 106 minutes.

A stranger named Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) comes looking for David with a theory. Elijah was born with a disease that makes his bones snap like dry wood — the opposite of what David appears to be. Robin Wright plays David's estranged wife Audrey, and Spencer Treat Clark is their son Joseph, who is convinced his father is something more than ordinary. Shyamalan builds the film slowly, without jump scares, as a study of identity and purpose.

Made immediately after The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable quietly launched a superhero universe years before anyone called it that. Split (2016) and Glass (2019) complete the trilogy. Stream Unbreakable (2000) online on iFILM.
