Cast Away

Let me share you the story in the film Cast Way, where Tom Hanks plays Chuck Noland, a clock-conscious Federal Express manager who gets stranded on a desert island. Completely cut off from other people and modern conveniences, he must learn the primitive skills of a caveman. He puts arduous effort into harpooning fish, making fire by rubbing sticks together, and opening a coconut to get its milk and sweet fruit. The movie is rich with insights on how difficult life can become for someone who is stranded in an isolated wilderness.
