Synopsis

Chuck Noland is an executive for an international package courier company, always busy and always travelling until a plane crash leaves him stranded on a desert island, so alone he gives a volleyball a name so that he'll have a friend. For a big Hollywood movie, Cast Away takes a big risk by having only one actor on screen for most of its running time - a gamble that pays off, with Tom Hanks doing a great job as a man who (just about) manages not to lose his mind.
