Captain Phillips (2013)

This is a true story about Captain Richard Phillips as the captain of the MV Maersk Alabama and how there ship was hijacked by Somali Pirates and were held for ransom. In the movie it shows how the pirates planned there route and how they would take over the ship.

In the ocean, Captain Phillips noticed two ships speeding up behind his ship and he tries to evade them by maneuvering in the water and using water canons to ward them off. But when that proved to not work, he orders his crew to hide in the bottom of the engine room and not to leave until helped arrived. As the pirates boarded the ship he called for help and was taken hostage in a small rescue vessel until he was rescued by Navy Seals.

This is yet another great movie with Tom Hanks. I recommend this movie to everyone and give it a 5 out of 5.
