Plots(1)
Utilising one of Tom Hanks' greatest all-time performances, described by Peter Travers of Rolling Stone as "a masterclass in acting by showing a man losing his sense of himself in fractional gradations", Castaway follows Chuck Noland (Hanks) a Fed-Ex engineer whose life is ripped from the comforts of an everyday reality when his plane crashes on a remote tropical island. Chuck must learn to survive and retain his sanity as days, then months, then years begin to pass. (Paramount Home Entertainment)
