Cast Away (2000)


The story:

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.

Chuck Noland is a Fed-Ex manager who demands that everything must be on time and travels the world to make sure punctuality is on top of everything else. He has a girlfriend, Kelly, with whom he is deeply in love with and family he hardly sees. When work intrudes on Christmas Eve, Chuck has a quick gift exchange in the car and kisses Kelly goodbye. He boards a delivery plane going overseas which gets caught in a horrendous storm and crashes into the Pacific. The sole survivor Chuck washes up on a remote island along with several Fed-Ex packages that he must use for supplies. With limited luxury, he adapts to the island over the course of 1,500 nights. When Chuck finally sees his chance he rafts out on the ocean and fortunately is spotted. After a bittersweet welcome-back reception, Chuck finds Kelly has married another man and has children. But he is missing more than her. For all his life his objective was work. For four years, it was survival. Now Chuck is compelled to live.

Chuck Noland is a FedEx systems engineer whose personal and professional life are ruled by the clock. His fast-paced career takes him, often at a moment's notice, to far-flung locales - and away from his girlfriend Kelly. Chuck's manic existence abruptly ends when, after a plane crash, he becomes isolated on a remote island - cast away into the most desolate environment imaginable. Stripped of the conveniences of everyday life, he first must meet the basic needs of survival, including water, food and shelter. Chuck, the consummate problem solver, eventually figures out how to sustain himself physically. But then what? Chuck begins his true personal journey. After four years, fate gives Chuck a chance to fight his way back to civilization, only to find an unexpected emotional challenge greater than all the earlier physical ones. His ability to persevere and to hope are a product of his life-changing experience.

25 Movies that will make you cry

  Up (2009) - Animation The first five minutes of 'Up' are masterful, oscarizable, wonderful and devastating. The void left by Carl and Ellie's story is overwhelming, and not even the masterpiece that is 'Up' helps that void to disappear. My Girl (1991) My Girl has the audacity to turn a love story, with a first kiss included, into a drama that marked an entire generation. From the time when Macaulay Culkin was Hollywood's big promise. Ghost (1990) Despite the comic relief of Oda Mae Brown, the character of Whoopi Goldberg, the love story between Sam (Patrick Swayze) and Molly Jensen (Demi Moore) is utterly tragic as poor Sam dies and becomes a ghost. The Notebook (2004) It is the romantic classic of the 21st century and is so because it tells the story of Allie and Noah in a romantic, cloying and funny way. That's precisely why the ending is so painful. Your Name (2016) The most successful anime in history is a gift for the senses. A jewel to discover in wh...
