"We live and we die by time, and we must not commit the sin of turning our back on time." - Chuck Noland

Why watch this? Could you survive alone on a deserted island?

Plot Summary: Chuck Noland, a FedEx executive, finds his life disastrously altered after a plane crash leaves him stranded on a deserted island. He must learn to survive and adapt to his isolation, developing resourcefulness and resilience. He will those skills even more if he ever returns to society.

Dad's Preview: This powerful one-man show is Hanks giving a class on method-acting. The audience really feels like they are on the island with him. He's fighting to survive. We feel his struggle as he tries to make fire, as he longs to get back to his darling Kelly. Until this film, I had never cried over an inanimate object, but "Wilson" broke my heart. The scene between Hanks and Hunt late in the film will also have even the toughest person sobbing like a baby.
