The fictional ship is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's the job of the lead character to guide his flock through the upturned vessel to rescue. a supporting player is unforgettable as a small business owner's partner with a useful history of athletic swimming.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)
Tom Hanks delivers sterling work in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the commander of an American cargo ship commandeered by Somali pirates off the geographical area.

Should the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.
