Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks takes on the role of Captain Richard Phillips in the gripping 2013 film 'Captain Phillips', now available on Prime Video. The film chronicles Phillips's harrowing encounter with Somali pirates while captaining the Maersk Alabama container ship in 2009. Hanks delivers a powerful performance as Phillips, showcasing his courage and determination to protect his crew.
For all the love his fictional characters have received, Tom Hanks has spent much of his career playing real American heroes, whether it be the courageous Captain Sully Sullenberger in Sully or the ray of sunshine that was Fred Rodgers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. As 2025 gets underway, one of his acclaimed features that falls into this category has just arrived on Prime Video - Captain Phillips.
The Oscar-nominated 2013 biopic places Hanks in the shoes of Richard Phillips, the captain of the Maersk Alabama container ship who, on one unexpected day in 2009, was confronted with the threat of Somali pirates. It takes inspiration from Phillips's novel recounting the incident with Stephan Talty, A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea, with director Paul Greengrass bringing the story to life. Captain Phillips builds tension throughout its journey, introducing the titular veteran navigator and his crew as an experienced team of sailors heading into dangerous waters. Set to sail around the Horn of Africa, they undergo drills to prepare should a vessel approach their ship. However, nothing could fully arm them for a nightmare scenario when they're boarded by an armed group led by Abduwali Muse. Across multiple days, Phillips and his crew are forced to use their wits to navigate an increasingly dangerous situation without drawing the pirates' ire. Throughout the harrowing survival tale, the captain does everything in his power to ensure his crew comes home alive, even if it means taking a gamble with his own life. Though Hanks didn't receive an Academy Award nomination for his efforts, his performance still earned high praise, with the film itself earning a 93% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, among the best of his career. His co-star Barkhad Abdi, who played Muse, came away with a Best Supporting Actor nomination in his first film appearance
