Tom Hanks Stars in Cast Away: A Masterpiece of True Acting

Cast Way is a film that is unique. It is unlike anyting you have ever seen. In no other film does the plot and entirety of the film center around one man with no other people to talk to or no other dialogue involved. This is without any doubt Tom Hanks' best film EVER. In fact it jsut might be one of the greatest solo performance acting movies of all time of one man.

Cast Away is about a man named Chuck Noland, played by Tom Hanks who is a Fed-Ex manager. He delivers packages and is in charge of the company. On one such mail delivery made by plane, a storm hits and makes the plane crash, killing the pilots, and Noland's friends, leaving him as the only survivor. He is somehow able to escape the crash into the ocean and swims to an island that is uninhabited. He is left all alone in the world on this island, with no electric devices no communication with the outside world, and nobody to talk to.

The heart of the movie centers around this one man's plight aboard this desserted island and how he is able to survive for many years there. He is able to keep track of time through a system of markings and uses parts of the plane that have been washed up onto the island to survive. He buries the body of his fallen friend and pilot that has been washed up onto the island and mourns his death. He also goes somewhat mad as he makes a volleyball that he found in a package into a human being. He gives the volleyball a name in Wilson, after its brand and talks to it as his personal friend.  When he looses his friend Wilson that he has come to care about deeply, he goes crazy trying to find it and eventually does. As a viewer you feel on an emotional level for Chuck Noland and his volleyball which only is an inaminate object but still his only friend in his imagination.
