Cast Away

Cast Away

2000

Move over, Gilligan: You have company! After Federal Express systems engineer Chuck Noland's (Tom Hanks) plane crashes in the Pacific Ocean, he finds himself fighting to survive on a deserted island with nothing but a painted volleyball for company. An acting tour de force for Hanks (who received an Oscar nod), Cast Away is a fascinating abstract about the human spirit's indomitability.

At the edge of the world, his journey begins.

User Reviews

  • I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Wilson, and for a skinny Tom Hanks.
