2. Briefly, in 2-3 paragraphs, tell me what you expect the plot to be in the movie, based on the real life events?
I think the plot will be about the capture of Captain Phillips and the pirates. It is going to tell the story of what happened to Captain Phillips during the attack. It will also cover the time he spent on the pirate's boat. This will show the important part of history. 

This will also focus on the events leading up to the attack. Maybe a little background on Captain Phillips and then jump into the story about the pirates and everything that happened. Then it will close with the saving of Captain Phillips.

This story is important because it tells a true story of a man's experience not only with pirates but how he was rescued and this incredible story.
