Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is - through director Paul Greengrass's distinctive lens - simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama's commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips' unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.
An intense thriller about Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), who discovers his cargo ship is being attacked by Somali pirates and must find a way to survive the ordeal, even attempting to build a rapport with the pirate leader (Barkhad Abdi). Even if you know how this true story ends, don't let that deter you, because director Paul Greengrass has truly created an incredibly intense and well-acted film that will keep you on edge from the start. The characters are not clearly black and white, while their motivations and decisions are clear and logical.
