Digiplex Destinations

When a small band of Somali pirates hijacks the MV Maersk Alabama cargo ship, the first America cargo ship to be highjacked in two hundred years, the Alabama’s Commanding Officer Captain Richard Phillips is taken hostage.  

Based on the true story of the 2009 hijacking, four desperate Somali Pirates bearing machine guns board the MV Alabama in hopes of gaining a fast payday.  Captain Phillips, (Tom Hanks), tries to protect his cargo and crew and offers himself up as a hostage so that his crew can remain safely about the ship.

A tense and deadly standoff with U.S. Navy warships ensues in the Indian Ocean during a harrowing drama at sea.  Phillips’ five day saga on a cramped lifeboat with heavily armed Somali Pirates hinges on the decisions of the veteran captain.

The film focuses on Captain Phillips’ relationship with the Somali hijacker Muse which is set on a collision course off the coast of Somalia.  Ultimately he must figure out how to outsmart the pirates in order to survive his ordeal.

With the assistance of the Navy, the SEALS and American negotiators, Captain Phillips and his ship’s crew are ultimately rescued.  Captain Phillips is based on the memoir, “A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALS, and Dangerous Days at Sea,” written by Richard Phillips and Stephan Tatty.  Starring along with Tom Hanks is Catherine Keener, who plays his wife.  Captain Phillips was directed by Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum, and United 93).

Kate Del Castillo stars in A Miracle in Spanish Harlem at Digiples

In the heart of this Christmas season, DigiNext is pleased to announce the release of its first feature length dramatic film, A Miracle in Spanish Harlem. It’s a family-friendly movie about love, faith and redemption. The movie has a Latin flavor, but its subject matter is universal. 

A Miracle in Spanish Harlem features international TV star Kate Del Castillo (Weeds, CSI: Miami, La Reina del Sur) in her first major English speaking cinematic lead role. Daughter of Mexican cinema legend, Eric del Castillo, Kate is cast as the beautiful love interest of a young widower, Tito, played by Luis Antonio Ramos (Steven Spielberg’s new series - Lucky 7, Burn Notice, Nip/Tuck).

Left to care for two young daughters – Amanda played by Fatima Ptacek (voice of Dora the Explorer, The Rebound, Curfew, Body of Proof) and Samantha played by Brianna Gonzalez-Bonacci (her cinema debut, Netflix’s Orange is the New Black), Tito has struggled with the loss of a wife, the loss of hope and the loss of his faith. 

Blind to the devotion of his family, he is consumed by the pressures of caring for his children and trying to keep a failing business above water. Tito’s growing bitterness about his bleak circumstances overshadows the best parts of his character and drive him to actions that will add disgrace to his woes (and a very public dressing-down by journalist Geraldo Rivera). Without a friend left on earth, nothing short of a miracle can relieve Tito’s crushing and solitary burdens. However, miracles have been known to happen…

A Miracle in Spanish Harlem has been compared to the holiday classic, It’s A Wonderful Life, with a storyline that will engage audiences with laughter, tears and circumstances of human relationships that everyone can relate to. While the film is unrated, it contains no crude humor, profanity, nudity, sexual scenes or depictions of drug use. Some emotionally charged language may go beyond polite conversation, but are common everyday expressions.
