The synopsis below may give away important plot points. After a bittersweet welcome-back reception, Chuck finds Kelly has married another man and has children. When Chuck finally sees his chance he rafts out on the ocean and fortunately is spotted. With limited luxury, he adapts to the island over the course of 1,500 nights. The sole survivor Chuck washes up on a remote island along with several FedEx packages that he must use for supplies. He boards a delivery plane going overseas which gets caught in a horrendous storm and crashes into the Pacific. When work intrudes on Christmas Eve, Chuck has a quick gift exchange in the car and kisses Kelly goodbye. He has a girlfriend, Kelly, with whom he is deeply in love with and family he hardly sees.

Although the thought of Kelly is what largely keeps him motivated to be rescued, Kelly, who probably believes him to be dead, may have moved on emotionally from him in the intervening time.Ĭhuck Noland is a FedEx manager who demands that everything must be on time and travels the world to make sure punctuality is on top of everything else. What Chuck may not fully realize is the longer he is not rescued, the harder it will be for him to return to his old life in its entirety if he ever is rescued. As time progresses, Chuck goes through a range of emotions, but if rescue is ever in the cards, he realizes that he has to find a way to get off the island, which is seemingly impossible in his circumstance due to the strong on shore surf he cannot get beyond without assistance. To fulfill that emotional need, he has an heirloom pocket watch with Kelly's photo that she gave him as a Christmas present, and eventually opening the FedEx packages, a Wilson volleyball on which he paints a face and which he names Wilson. But survival is also in an emotional sense. Chuck realizes that his priority is survival - which primarily means food, water, shelter and fire - and rescue. However several of the packages on board for delivery do wash up on shore with him, those packages which he initially treats with respect. In a life raft, a relatively unharmed Chuck washes up on shore what he will learn is a deserted island, he unaware what has happened to any of his fellow flight mates, or the plane. That flight experiences technical difficulties, and goes down somewhere in the south Pacific. That marital status changes when on Christmas Day 1995 as Chuck is rushing off to catch yet another FedEx plane for a business trip, he gives Kelly a ring. Memphis-based FedEx operations executive Chuck Noland and grad student Kelly Frears have long dated and lived together, and despite each being the love of the other's life, have not gotten married because of their respective busy schedules, especially Chuck's as he is more often on business trips than he is at home. The production shut down for a year to allow Hanks time to lose this weight, while Zemeckis switched his focus to ghost story What Lies Beneath.A FedEx executive undergoes a physical and emotional transformation after crash landing on a deserted island.
