Tagline

---------

At the edge of the world, his journey begins.



PLOT

-------

After FedEx systems engineer Chuck Noland is ripped out of his hasty life by the clock in a plane crash,

he finds himself alone on the shores of a tropical island. First, frustration gets to him and then he

realizes how little his chances are to ever get back to civilisation. Four years later, Chuck has learned

very well how to survive on his own: mending his dental health, catching fish with a spear, predicting the

weather with a selfmade calendar. A photograph of his girlfriend Kelly has kept his hopes alive all these

years. Finally, Chuck takes the opportunity to take off for home: He sets off on a wooden raft with a sail

that has washed ashore.



Actors

--------

Tom Hanks, Helen Hunt, Valerie Wildman, Dmitri S. Boudrine, Paul Sanchez, Leonid Citer, more...



Trivia

-------

Production was halted for a year so Tom Hanks could lose fifty pounds and grow out his hair for his time

spent on the deserted island. During this hiatus, Robert Zemeckis used the same crew to film

"What Lies Beneath (2000)."



On the plane ride home, Chuck is offered a cup of ice, and Dr. Pepper. An obvious reference and nod to the

previous Zemeckis/Hanks project Forrest Gump (1994).



Contrary to popular belief, FedEx did not pay the filmmakers anything for their presence in the movie.

The director has made this clear in a number of interviews.
