Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks) was captaining the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama when suddenly a Somali pirate group get to the boat and threaten the crew with weapons; as you may imagine, they wanted money. This was the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years. The Somali pirate captain, Muse, takes Richard hostage. The ship was 145 miles off the Somali coast, they did not have anything to protect them so the ship was under the pirates control.
Captain Phillips offers them $30,000 but they wanted more, so the pirates look for all the crew members and take the whole crew hostage and hold them for ransom. Later the pirates let all the crew escape but they kept Phillips. Then U.S. Navy will try to stop them even if it means losing Phillips.
It sounds like a science fiction movie but this awesome story did happen to Richard and now he lives to tell his story.
