Movie Prep

1.  Richard Phillips, Ali Aden Elmi, Hamac, an unidentified pirate, Abduwali Muse, Captain Larry Aasheim, and Commander Frank Castellano will most likely be main characters in the film.

2.  The crew aboard the Maersk Alabama were transporting cargo when they received warning about possible pirate danger; soon after, pirates invaded the Maersk Alabama and overpowered Captain Phillips and the rest of the crew.
     The crew ended up being able to overpower one of the pirates, but it only results in Captain Phillips being taken hostage.  The pirate ended up being released, but the pirates refused to release Captain Phillips in return.  They left Phillips in a lifeboat with ten days' worth of basic survival supplies.
     People finally responded to the hostage situation, and the subsequent standoff between the pirates and the federal workers started.  Later, Phillips is said to be in immediate danger (as in, an AK47 is pointed directly at his back), and they open fire on the pirates.  Three of them are killed, and the fourth pirate surrendered while being treated for an injury and was taken into custody.
