Captain Phillips (2013)

Director: Paul Greengrass

Average user rating
No reviews

Synopsis

Paul Greengrass directs Tom Hanks in this drama based on the true story of Captain Richard Phillips, the captain of the MV Maersk Alabama when it was taken by pirates in 2009. Hanks seems like a solid fit for the principled captain who hid his crew from the pirates and subjected himself to an ordeal on a lifeboat at the hands of his captors. Expect a similarly high-profile casting for the role of his wife Andrea, who watched the horrors unfold on the news.
