20 Things You Didn't Know About Unbreakable
8. Elijah And The Biblical Connection
Like the relevance of David Dunn's name being a tribute to the commonly found alliterative names frequently found in comic books, the choice of Elijah's name is also not by chance. It is believed at least, that he was named after the Biblical character.
Elijah was a prophet in the Old Testament, whose job included guiding people towards their purpose in life. In Unbreakable, this is exactly what Elijah ends up doing for David, which also happens to be a Biblical name of a man who saved innocent lives.
