An exploration of human survival and the ability of fate to alter even
the tidiest of lives with one major event, Cast Away tells the story of
Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks), a Federal Express engineer who devotes most of
his life to his troubleshooting job. His girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt)
is often neglected by his dedication to work, and his compulsive
personality suggests a conflicted man. But on Christmas Eve, Chuck
proposes marriage to Kelly right before embarking on a large assignment.
On the
assignment, a plane
crash strands Chuck on a remote island, and his fast-paced life is
slowed to a crawl, as he is miles removed from any human contact.
Finding solace only in a volleyball that he befriends, Chuck must now
learn to endure the emotional and physical stress of his new life,
unsure of when he may return to the civilization he knew before. Cast
Away reunites star Hanks with director Robert Zemeckis, their first film
together since 1994's Oscar-winning Forrest Gump.
Directed By: Robert Zemeckis
