Cast Away
Proving that great acting can truly save a film, Tom Hanks delivers a performance that stands out well against a story constantly being swept away from the few great moments and into a long and drawn out ordeal.
Working around the clock and around the globe as a Fed Ex systems engineer, Chuck Noland (Hanks) has pretty much seen the world but been without the time to enjoy it. Things though take a terrible twist when traveling home aboard a company plane, it crashes into the ocean, Noland the only survivor left to drift upon the storm- tossed seas.
Fortunately for ‘Noland' there is land, and washing ashore onto a corner of the globe not yet visited by this well traveled man, he finds himself a lone "Cast Away" on a remote deserted island. Now with all the time in the world in the palm of his hands, he is left under the palms with little more than the hope of once again seeing his love (Helen Hunt) keeping him alive.
