'Captain Phillips' Trailer: Tom Hanks Negotiates With Desperate Pirates

Tom Hanks stars in Captain Phillips, the new film from United 93 director Paul Greengrass. He's the captain of the ship Maersk Alabama, which was hijacked by Somali pirates in 2009. The first trailer showed the beginning of that hijacking, but this second trailer is more detailed and intense as it shows the actions and personalities of Phillips and the pirate leader, and hints at the military response to the situation.

Check out the trailer below.

Captain Phillips opens on October 11.
