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 beautifully filmed story of adventure and discovery surrounding one man's will to stay alive.

A movie that is less interested in exploring the consequences of the isolation of a hyperactive manager than in demonstrating the ability of its star to hold an audience on his own, with no more than a charismatic volleyball for company; Hanks manages it

Great movie Tom Hanks at his very best.
Great movie Tom Hanks at his very best. This has got to be one of Tom's finest films. A classic!
Martin Short has Tom Hanks to thank for bailing him out of a recent fender-bender, revealing the Cast Away star calmed the angry driver down by offering to hear his movie pitch. The Father of the Bride star was shopping near his Palisades home in New York when he spotted Hanks perusing the mall on Christmas Eve (24Dec11). The movie star asked to tag along as Short picked up a few things at the supermarket, and the 61 year old is glad Hanks did because the actor's charming nature came in handy. Read more
