Movie Prep

1. I would expect the main characters to be Captain Richard Philips, the Somali pirates, and the members of the crew. Other characters would be the military members who rescued him.
2. I would expect the movie to take place on the ship where Captain Phillips was before the pirates attacked. The ship will go on its route as planned, until pirates come aboard the ship. The pirates leave the ship, but they take Phillips as hostage.
   He will stay in the life boat for 5 days, all while the U.S. is trying to get him free. The whole event gets major news coverage. Eventually, the U.S. kills three of the Somali pirates and imprisons the other. Captain Phillips is set free and goes back to his family.
3. This story was so important because it went on for such a long time for a hostage situation and there had been pirate problems in the past. It also was a successful rescue mission.
4. They tried to take the ship for money.

1. Tom Hanks, Barkhad Abdi, Barkhad Abdirahman, Faysal Ahmed, and Mahat M. Ali are the most important actors in this film.
2. It is rated PG-13.

4. The producers are Scott Durin, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De Luca.
5. Two major awards of the 16 the film one are BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role(Barkhad Abdi), and Writers Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Screenplay(Billy Ray).
6. It cost $55 million to make. 
7. Many people liked the movie, and it has a very high rating on rotten tomatoes.
