Watch Cast Away Online

Cast Away is a 2000 film by 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks about a modern day Robinson Crusoe, a FedEx employee who is stranded on an uninhabited island after his plane goes down over the South Pacific. Tom Hanks was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards for his performance.

Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) is a highly efficient FedEx executive. He is in a relationship with Kelly Frears (Helen Hunt). Both of them seem to want to get married but Chuck's busy schedule is an obstacle.

Chuck is home in Memphis, Tennessee for Christmas after returning from a trip to Moscow, Russia. As he and Kelly enjoy a holiday gathering with relatives, Chuck is called away on a business trip. As he's leaving for the trip, he gives Kelly a box containing an engagement ring and tells her not to open it until New Year's Eve and Kelly gives Chuck a pocket watch containing a picture of herself.

While flying through a thunderstorm somewhere over the southern Pacific Ocean, the FedEx jet decompresses, forcing them to land in the ocean. The plane crashes into the night time sea in flames. Saved by an inflatable life-raft, Chuck floats helplessly on the ocean until he is brought to a deserted island. Within a few days, Chuck ascertains that the island is uninhabited and sets out to do what he can to survive. (Wikipedia)
