Cast Away	comment	Cast Away is a 2000 film directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by William Broyles Jr. and starring Tom Hanks.Chuck Noland has everything: success in a high-pressure, high-paying job with FedEx, close friends, and a woman who loves him. The only thing he doesn't have enough of... is time. This changes when he is in a plane crash and, finding himself the sole survivor, washes up on an uninhabited tropical island where he has to figure out how to survive. Now Chuck has all the time he could ever want... and nothing else but his own wits and his two hands.In many ways, it's like an updated version of Robinson Crusoe. The film was a massive commercial and critical success, with Hanks being praised (and eventually nominated for the Best Actor Oscar) for his performance, which required him to undergo a drastic physical transformation and spend the majority of the film alone on screen.

Kelly marrying someone else in the interim and both coming to a mutual acceptance about this is one that apparently confuses a lot of younger viewers, as the "Hollywood" expectation was for Kelly to discard her husband and family to pursue "true love" with Chuck, when that isn't how adult relationships generally work in the real world.

Another is that he left one package unopened to keep himself grounded and not lose hope of ever making it back to civilization. "Isolated, in survival mode or not, I'm still a civilized human being. Someday I will deliver this package, dammit!" Kelly tells Chuck that it was never determined what brought down the plane, save from some speculations.

Although it's averted to show the passage of time; after four years on the island Chuck is shown to exist like an animal, with no unnecessary speech or movement to waste energy. After a long period with no dialogue, he's eventually shown arguing with Wilson. Chuck gleefully hams it up the first time he gets a fire working, doing a victory dance and shouting, "Look what I have created! I! Have made FIRE!!"

Tom Hanks is a FedEx executive who is the only survivor of a plane crash over the ocean, and washes up on a Deserted Island with a load of undelivered FedEx boxes. A few of these he raids for supplies, but one of them strikes him as special, and he holds onto it, unopened, out of a sense of professionalism. At the end of the movie, when he is rescued and brought back to civilization, he finally delivers the last box.

During Chuck's phone call to Kelly from Moscow, he mentions having a toothache, which is further demonstrated during Christmas dinner. After he's stranded on the island, that toothache becomes significantly worse... Kelly's new husband is worried for how much of a mess she is when she's trying to meet Chuck, and Chuck sees said husband guiding her back to the car after she attempts to go to Chuck. Later, it's confirmed why her husband was so reluctant of her meeting Chuck, as she almost elopes with him.
