MOVIE REVIEW
Chuck Noland is a FedEx systems engineer whose personal and professional life are ruled by the clock. His fast-paced career takes him, often at a moment’s notice, to far-flung locales and away from his girlfriend, Kelly. On one such trip, Chuck’s manic existence abruptly halts when his plane goes down in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and he becomes stranded on a remote, uninhabited island. He is the only survivor. With no one there to vote him off the island, Chuck makes the best of it. First, he must find a way to meet basic human needs (food, water and shelter), which he accomplishes with the help of various FedEx packages that have washed ashore with him. There is one package with an angel wing logo on it that he does not open. Along with a picture of Kelly, it becomes a symbol of hope and a reason to endure.
