     I expect the Plot to start with captain Phillips boarding the ship and assisting them. Around when they reach the hook of Africa, where they will see the Somalians coming after them. They try to fend them off but guess they do not succeed. The pirates board the ship and take the captain captive. The Somalians try to ransom the captain (Phillips). They take the ship's lifeboat. They go to see for a few days before the navy gets to them. 
      The navy offers peace and they don't listen because they want their money. That proves unsuccessful for them. The ransom gets around news everywhere and everyone is aware of what is going on. They then have a standoff and the three Somalian pirates are killed on the boat. Captain Phillips and rescued and returned to his family.

This story was important because most the time these hostage situations are not successful and captain Phillips risked his own life for the sake of the rest of the crew.

 To sell the things on the ship and to ransom the crew to make allllot of money.
