Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks) takes command of the MV Maersk Alabama, an unarmed container ship from the Port of Salalah in Oman, with orders to sail through the Gulf of Aden to Mombasa, Kenya. Wary of pirate activity off the coast of the Horn of Africa, he and First Officer Shane Murphy (Michael Chernus) order strict security precautions on the vessel and carry out practice drills. During a drill, the vessel is chased by Somali pirates in two skiffs, and Phillips calls for help. Knowing that the pirates are listening to radio traffic, he pretends to call a warship, requesting immediate air support. One skiff turns around in response, and the other – manned by four heavily armed pirates led by Abduwali Muse (Barkhad Abdi) – loses engine power trying to steer through the Maersk Alabama 's wake.

A man is snatched from the streets of his home city and transported to an unknown destination. Held in a tiny cell with no access to legal representation, he is cut off from the outside world. Advanced interrogation techniques are used to break him down. His life is deconstructed with such manipulation that even he begins to question his innocence. He is transported again, in a small jet marked only 'N379P', to the searing heat of an unspecified locale where interrogation is quickly replaced by sophisticated torture. No reason is offered for his detention and no timetable is set for his release. No governments are mentioned, no radical factions named, no fingers pointed. There is nothing for him to hang onto. The man has fallen out of the world, and only questions remain.

Le documentaire relate la vie à Pompéi et Herculanum dans les vingt-quatre heures qui précèdent leur destruction, imaginant la vie de plusieurs de leurs habitants. À l'exception de Pline l'Ancien et son neveu Pline le Jeune, les personnages mis en scènes sont fictifs, mais correspondent aux restes et traces découverts sur les sites archéologiques. Le film montre en particulier la nature et l'impact des phases successives de l'éruption du Vésuve, reconstituée en images de synthèse, en conformité avec les connaissances volcanologiques d'aujourd'hui, qui confirment la fiabilité du témoignage antique de Pline le Jeune.
