Movie synopsis

Tom Hanks is Chuck Noland, a man in a hurry. His job for Federal Express has him traveling the world on a moment's notice, exhorting the company's employees to speed things up--"never turn your back on the clock." When he's suddenly called away for business on Christmas night, his tolerant longtime girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt) drives him to the airport. They have their Christmas in the car--and Chuck plunks an engagement ring into her lap right before he gets on the plane, telling her, "I'll be right back." But an unexpected storm cuts the plane's crew off from radio contact and blows them off course. Chuck is the sole survivor of the resulting crash, and washes up on a completely deserted island. Stranded there, he must give up everything that he once took for granted and learn how to survive all alone in the wilderness. From director Robert Zemeckis, CAST AWAY is a story of adventure and discovery surrounding one man's will to stay alive.

Cast Away

Created: 30/12/06
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.

Tom Hanks does it again!

Created: 06/08/06
Tom Hanks is a splendid, captivating actor. In Cast Away, you feel like you are with Tom Hanks character, Chuck Noland, as he endures the trials and tribulations of being stranded alone on an island. If you're up for a movie of awesome acting, this is the one! On top of great acting, the movie can be viewed by both action, drama and chick flick lovers. It is a drama, but it has a little bit of each genre (action, romance, comedy, etc). It is a movie for all! If this review doesn't already say it, this movie is highly recommended and definitely a good buy!

A great story with a bad ending

Created: 09/11/07
In Cast Away Tom Hanks plays an incredible role, for more than an hour he's the only person you see stranded on an island all by himself. It's a great story about survival as only an actor as great as Tom Hanks could pull off. However, when he hits the big wave and at last makes it off the island, you should just turn it off and call that the ending....

This is a very powerful and moving movie. It touches my heart every time I watch it because he is trying to survive on an island for the love of his life. Very good movie, and I recommend you watch it. I bought it for my friend because she came over to my house and we watched Castaway and when it came to the Wilson part I was bawling and so I got her Wilson and the movie for christmas. I hope she likes it.
