Captain Phillips is a multilayered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. Based on a true story, the film focuses on the Alabama's commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips(two-time Academy Award® winner Tom Hanks, Best Actor, 1993, Philadelphia; Best Actor, 1994, Forrest Gump), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi, in an Academy Award®-nominated performance, Best Supporting Actor, 2013), who takes him hostage. The two men are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips' unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

Very good movie worth the buy
If you ever wanted to experience what it would be like to be held hostage by a band of desperate and dangerous high-seas buccaneers as they brandish automatic weapons with careless abandon, then “Captain Phillips” is probably as close as you will ever get, or want to get. The action takes off within the first 20 minutes. Lean-and-hungry members of the world’s under-class—a ragtag, brazenly opportunistic band of young Somali men— stage their attack as if pulling off a smash-and-grab at a jewellery store. After that, it’s full steam ahead and no turning back.
Thankfully my steelbook arrived in good shape . The films absolutely brilliant, I great 4k but it's the dolby atmos that gets the biggest upgrade. Absolutely fantastic. Anyone with a half decent atmos set up you need this 1 in your collection.
