A Robert Zemeckis Film
Protagonist(s): Tom Hanks
Run-time: 2 hours 23 minutes
When a FedEx executive crashes into the Pacific and is washed ashore on a desert island he must metaphorically reinvent the wheel in order to survive.
This film is a modern take on the classic Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, with a more detailed and hopefully accurate retelling of the physical and psychological changes which occur in a man so that he may survive the solitude of a primitive island.
The plot is solid, the effects are excellent, the acting talent is great, and the ending is open to interpretation.
While there is a brief moment of extreme action this film is mostly of the slow variety. If you do not enjoy that sort of film then this is not the film for you.
