Cast Away is one of those quiet, wisp-of-a-movie movies that keep you entertained without too much going on. In the movie, Tom Hanks is a FED EX executive traveling by FED EX plane when something goes wrong and the plane plunges into the sea. Tom's character seems to be the only survivor, and he finds himself alone in the middle of an ocean on an island. He lives there for years until he finally makes it back home, only to find that the life he left is completely different (and the love of his life has moved on). Irony is a big part of the picture--helpful items arrive in the form of shipped FED EX packages as they wash up on shore. One particular item, "Wilson", his volleyball friend, becomes his only companion for years. Not much happens, but I think that's okay. It's a nice change of pace and well-acted by Hanks. An enjoyable film with a happy ending.Read full review

This is one of Tom Hanks best films yet! I certainly enjoyed it. Tom Hanks plays a play called Chuck Noland who works for Federal Express, who's always on the go at a moment's notice. He's called away for business on Christmas night and his girlfriend and he have Christmas in their car. When he leaves the car the last thing he says to her is that he'll be right back. Well that doesn't happen. The plane ends up in an unexpected storm, they lose radio contact, they go off course and it crashes. Chuck is the sole survivor of the crash, and washes ashore of a deserted island. While stranded there, he must learn how to survive in the wilderness by himself. A definite must see.
