The film is based on the true story of the hijacking of the US ship Maersk Alabama, which was attacked by Somali pirates in 2009, and focuses on the relationship between the Alabama's captain, Richard Phillips, and the Somali pirate captain, Muso, who takes him hostage.
Phillips and Muse cannot avoid a collision when Muse and his team decide to capture Phillips' unarmed ship. In the conflict that follows, taking place less than 200 kilometers off the coast of Somalia, both men are at the mercy of forces beyond their control.
