Captain Phillips
Maersk Alabama commander
Captain Phillips is the 2013 film directed by Paul Greengrass, starring Tom Hanks as Richard Phillips, the captain of the container ship Maersk Alabama during its 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates.
The phrase I'm the captain now, spoken by the lead pirate, became a widely used meme expressing sudden assertion of control or dominance in any situation.
