The true 'adapted' story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.

(Director Paul Greengrass, Production 2011-13 -> Release Date 101113, Budget $55 Million -> Box Office $218.8 Million, Duration 2 hrs 14 mnts, Genre - Biography, Drama, Thriller)

+ Solid performances by the two main protagonists with great support by the other casts
+ Shot realistically with tense and personal cinematography, lingering in each scene
+/- Mass media interjection and any Hollywood cinematic 'creative license' taken on the exact journey of the event could make or break a person's opinion on the movie
