BATTEL SHIP
ACTION
Alex Hopper is a talented but undisciplined slacker. His
brother Stone, a naval Commander, forces Hopper to join the Navy. Hopper
becomes a lieutenant on the USS John Paul Jones DDG-53, sister-ship to his
brother's command, the USS Sampson DDG-102. Hopper also falls in love with
Admiral Shane's daughter, Samantha, and wants to marry her, but is afraid of
asking her father's permission, as he doesn't like Hopper.
During the RIMPAC
opening ceremony, Hopper gets into a brawl with Captain Nagata of the Japanese
Maritime Self Defense Force, in charge of JDS Myoko DDG-175. Hopper soon learns
that he is to be kicked out of the Navy at the end of RIMPAC. Meanwhile,
Samantha accompanies Army veteran and amputee Mick Canales on a hike on Oahu in
order to help him adapt to his prosthetic legs. A small fleet of alien ships arrives in response to the NASA signal. One ship collides with an orbital satellite and crashes in Hong Kong, while five others land in the waters near Hawaii.
The aliens erect a massive
forcefield around the islands, trapping a number of American, Japanese and
other sovereignty's warships, including Hopper's ship. The aliens attack,
destroying Nagata and Stone's ships. Hopper's superiors are killed, leaving him
in command of the John Paul Jones. Captain Nagata and some of his crew members
are rescued from the waters and assists the Americans in setting up a discreet
way to track the aliens using wave-detection buoys. During a night-time battle,
the aliens and the Americans exchange pot shots, but Hopper manages to sink two
alien ships.
They rescue an alien from the water. They discover the aliens are
very sensitive to sun light and have to wear filters during the day. Using this
knowledge, Hopper attacks another alien ship at dawn, using a sniper rifle with
Nagata to breach their cockpit window and blind them with sunlight. Both ships
are destroyed in the battle.
A group of alien footsoldiers and scientists lands on Oahu
and attack the NASA.
Having no better options, the surviving crew of the John Paul
Jones return to harbor and board the USS Missouri BB-63, a 70-year old
decommissioned battleship that has been converted into a museum.
With the aid
of the museum staff, all elderly war veterans, Hopper manages to put the
Missouri out to sea again. With some clever maneuvers, the Missouri destroys
the last alien ship and shells the communications array, destroying the aliens
and ending the threat of invasion.
Back
on shore, the crew and Mick all get medals, including a posthumous one to
Stone, after the ceremony, Adm. Shane leads Hopper off to discuss his 'Terms of
Surrender' over a meal.
Samantha and Mick narrowly avoid their detection, and run into a fleeing NASA scientist. Because the aliens' communications ship crashed in Hong Kong, the aliens plan to use the NASA array to signal their home planet to invade Earth.
Realizing that a larger invasion might be imminent, Samantha manages to get a radio and warns Hopper of the threat.
Battleship is a 2012 American military science fiction war film loosely inspired by the classic board game. The film was directed by Peter Berg and released by Universal Pictures.
