When four desperate Somali pirates (Barkhad Abdi, Barkhad Abdirahman, Faysal Ahmed, and Mahat M. Ali) hijack the Maersk Alabama freighter in April 2009 in this Oscar-nominated, riveting, chilling, well-acted, factually based, 134-minute thriller, which is based on Richard Phillips novel A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALS, and Dangerous Days at Sea, courageous and selfless Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), who has left his wife (Catherine Keener) at home in Vermont, tries to protect his crew (David Warshofsky, Ian Ralph, Peter Landi, Angus MacInnes, Mark Holden, San Shella, Corey Johnson, et al.) while U.S. Navy personnel (Yul Vazquez, et al.) and a SEAL team (Max Martini, Scott Oates, Billy Jenkins, et al.) figure out a daring rescue plan.
