if anyone ever had any doubt about the quality of tom hanks then this movie is will definitely clear all his doubts. tom hanks as Chuck is a fedex relationship manager. He is in love with kelly. They were very close to getting married. But suddenly Tom is given the responsibility of a very important meeting for which he has to fly.
Before going he gives kelly a box. inside the box he kept a ring and told her not to open until New Year's eve. kelly also gives him a pocket watch with her picture inside it. Tom flies away to Moscow for his business trip when suddenly he meets with an accident with his plane..
Disaster strikes but he is saved somehow by the inflatable raft.somehow he reaches a deserted island and he discovers thatas he is alone is he has to all to save himself and keep him alive.
This is the best part of the movie where it is shown how he survives in the deserted island. He collects rain water so that he can drink. The tries to catch fishes and crabs to eat.
slowly he finds the remains of the plane and the career which was going along with the plane. He opens them as he understands that he would not be seeing the world very quickly so we'll starts opening them to find practical use of the things which is available to him. On thing which were shown very nicely is the Wilson volleyball. It had a bloody fingerprint or a hand print on it. He names it wilson and starts talking with him.
There are many other things which are shown very nicely in the movie and I would suggest you to watch it to experience the amazing movie.

I’ve seen that movie you’re talking about. It’s a nice one. It’s been a long time since I saw this movie and I wanted to. But the disk that we have at home is now broken. It’s a good experience, it’s dramatic and it’s somehow funny.
If I’m going to have my castaway experience, I would like to be in that island as well. Sure thing it’s a beautiful place not to be found – for a while. ;)

Oh, I love that parts in the movie with "Wilson". This movie is indeed endearing and Tom Hanks was really good! Although if you ask me, I liked him better in the movie, "Terminal", where he practically lived in the airport terminal! I guess you're familiar with this movie as well. But of course, who would forget "Forrest Gump"? I think Tom Hanks has already etched a mark in the industry as one of the best actors of his time.
Happy myLotting!

Tom Hanks is a great actor and Cast Away is definately a great movie. I heard he had to gain something like 50 pounds for the role. It is unbelievable how his character survived being on the island for something like 5 years with no one but a volleyball. That movie shows you to never give up hope on someone like his wife did when she remarried. If you want to see another great Tom Hanks movie, watch Forrest Gump.
