De film is gebaseerd op het waargebeurde verhaal van Richard Phillips, kapitein van het cargoschip Maersk Alabama. In 2009 werd dit schip door Somalische piraten gekaapt en Phillips gaf zichzelf op als gijzelaar om zijn crew te redden.
Nee, helaas is Captain Phillips nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
