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 (two time Academy Award®-winner 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.
