Based on a true story, Captain Phillips is the narrative of the Maersk Alabama hijacking by Somali pirates. Tom Hanks plays the role of Captain Richard Phillips, whose crew is taken hostage by ruthless pirates led by the terrifying Muse (Barkhad Abdi). The movie doesn't limit itself to a mere hijacking but also the human emotions and desperation behind captors and captives. The intense performances with edge-of-the-seat suspense really make this into a masterclass of tension- Hanks here earns rave reviews with some gripping portrayals of survival against all odds.
