Is Captain Philips based on a true story?

It is indeed a true story. The events depicted in the movie are inspired by the actual incident that took place and have been adapted for the big screen. However, some details might have been changed for dramatic effect.

The key event was the hijacking of the Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates. Captain Philips was taken hostage. The U.S. Navy then got involved in a tense standoff to rescue him.

In Captain Philips' real story, the central figure is Captain Richard Phillips. The Somali pirates, such as Muse, were key antagonists. And from the side of the rescue, the U.S. Navy sailors and especially the Navy SEALs who carried out the rescue mission are significant characters. Their actions and decisions shaped the whole story.
