Battleship is a 2012 American military science fiction action film about a first encounter with aliens in a naval conflict context. The title refers to the 'hero' of the film, the iconic but mothballed World War II battleship USS Missouri, and her bewhiskered crew, and indicates the film's concept based loosely on the Battleship board game. Filming took place in Hawaii and on the USS Missouri. It was released by Universal Pictures, directed by Peter Berg and starred lead actor Taylor Kitsch.
The film was directed by Peter Berg and released by Universal Pictures. It was also the only Hasbro property to be produced in association with Dentsu Inc., which left NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan before being spun off as a separate company on February 17, 2014. The film stars Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna, John Tui, Brooklyn Decker and Tadanobu Asano.
The film was originally planned to be released in 2011, but was rescheduled to May 18, 2012, in the United States.
In 2005, scientists discover an extrasolar planet, which is named Planet G, believed to have conditions nearly identical to Earth. In 2006, NASA builds a transmission device in Hawaii that is five times more powerful than any before it, and a program to contact the planet, known as The Beacon Project, begins.
Meanwhile, slacker Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch) gets arrested while attempting to impress Sam Shane (Brooklyn Decker), daughter of U.S. Pacific Fleet commander Admiral Terrance Shane (Liam Neeson). Infuriated at Alex's lack of motivation, Stone Hopper (Alexander Skarsgård), Alex's elder brother and a naval officer, forces him to also sign up for the U.S. Navy.
