A major blockbuster for Hanks, who starred as the captain of the hijacked cargo ship. It’s one of his more captivating roles — an intense thriller that if we didn’t know the true story, would put us on the edge of our seats. As usual, Hanks is brilliant. Though, it was Barkhad Abdi who earned an Academy Award nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category.
