The main star gives a late-career exemplary performance in solo performance as a individual struggling to endure in the Indian Ocean after his personal boat, the main setting, is impaired in a crash with an errant shipping container.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)

The lead actor does outstanding acting in part of his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the skipper of an US merchant vessel commandeered by maritime criminals off the specific location.
