Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) works for FedEx. He has a girlfriend, Kelly Sears (Helen Hunt) and it appears it is serious. When he leaves he says he will be back soon. However the FedEx plane gets caught in a storm and crashes in the ocean. Noland does get in a raft, and washes ashore on an island. This begins a four year ordeal where his only companion is a volleyball with a blood stain that looks like a face. Finally part of a 0orta potty washes ashore, and he turns it into a sail for a raft. With that extra push he is able to g`et over the wake and get to sea, where he floats many days, but loses his volleyball. Finally a boat discovers him and he is saved. It has been four years. His girlfriend has moved on, married and has a baby. They still love each other but realize that opportunity has flown the coup. So Noland goes to start a new life.
This movie shows you do not need a large cast to make a movie. It also shows the resilience of man, as Noland has to teach himself how to survive.
