Based on the events surrounding the 2009 hijacking of an American cargo ship off the coast of Somalia, this nerve-jangling film from "United 93" director Paul Greengrass dramatizes the actions taken by Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks) when the vessel under his command is overrun by Abduwali Muse (Barkhad Abdi) and his crew of Somali pirates. As a military response is planned, Phillips maneuvers himself into position as the hijackers' hostage. With Max Martini, Catherine Keener. 134 min.
