Über diesen Film

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. The film is directed by Academy Award® nominee Paul Greengrass, from a screenplay by Billy Ray based upon the book, A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea, by Richard Phillips with Stephan Talty. The film is produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De Luca. CBFC U/A DFL/2/99/2013-MUM

I watched it only for tom hanks and it just blew me off. I kept controlling the urges of nature, just because I didn't want a break in the movie. A very gripping movie. And in the last 15 minutes Mr hanks has proved his mattle.

The last 10 min of climax is where u can see the movies best part which will make u cry like it did to me.... Tom hanks sir I respect you for this great realistic movie.

I'm a mariner ,and this movie pictures few things that we undergo... a must watch for those who think we just booze and dance with chicks out at sea.
