Cast Away

Cast Away (2000) is Robert Zemeckis's survival drama with Tom Hanks, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Chuck Noland lives by the clock for FedEx until his plane goes down over the Pacific.

He is the only one to make it out alive. Washed up on an empty island, Chuck has no radio, no rescue and no idea how long he'll be there. The man who once ran on tight schedules now has to spark a fire, spear fish, and keep talking to a volleyball named Wilson just to stay sane. Back home, Kelly (Helen Hunt) has no way of knowing if he survived.

Zemeckis paused production for months so Hanks could lose weight and grow out his beard, and for long stretches the actor carries the screen alone, with no score and no dialogue. The role earned him an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe. It is a quiet, gripping look at loss and starting over, built without a single special effect. Stream Cast Away (2000) online on iFILM.
