In Battleship, Lieutenant Alex Hopper (Kitsch) is a naval weapons officer assigned to destroyer USS John Paul, and humanity's last hope in the face of a global alien invasion. Hopper's older brother, Stone (Skarsgard), is Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson. Petty Officer Second class Cora Raikes (Rihanna) is Hopper's crew mate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones, and Sam Shane (Decker) is Hooper's financée and a physical therapist specializing in the rehabilitation of military combat veterans. Captain Yugi Nagata (Asano) is the commanding officer of the Japanese destroyer Myoko and Hooper's archrival. Admiral Shane (Neeson), Commander of the Pacific Fleet, is Hopper and Stone's superior (and Sam's father). Against all odds, these naval officers and their heroic crews launch an all-out military showdown against a superior alien force. Inspired by Hasbro's popular naval combat game. (Gary Reber)
