Captain
Phillips Official Synopsis:
Captain
Phillips is director Paul Greengrass’s multi-layered examination of the 2009
hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali
pirates. It is—through 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 his Somali counterpart, Muse (Barkhad Abdi). Set on an incontrovertible collision course
off the coast of Somalia, both men will find themselves paying the human toll
for economic forces outside of their control.
The film is directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Greengrass, from a
screenplay by Billy Ray and 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.
