Castaway - Fiction OR A True Story

A time obsessed FedEx systems engineer Chuck Noland is shredded out of his rapid paced life in a plane crash while his way to Malaysia to fix a problem, he finds himself stranded on the shores of a tropical island. At first, he gets frustrated and later he comprehended to the bitter truth that how little his probability of ever getting back to civilization is.

Astoundingly He survived four long years. And now he has learned to mend his dental problems, catch fish with a spear, predicting the weather with a self-made calendar and most importantly he invented FIRE. A photograph of his girlfriend Kelly and a volleyball named "Wilson" enthused him all these years to stay alive. Wilson was found in one of the fedex boxes which were in the Plane. Noland (Tom Hanks) found few more usefull stuff in remaining boxes which helped him survive initially. But he leaves one package unopened which still had consignee address, a pair of Wings & Fedex tagline " The World On Time" intact on it, in hope that he will deliver this one day for sure.

And after many failed attemt to get out of the island, committing suicide, he found one day a large plastic section, might be from a wrecked ship taken to island by strong tidal winds, and decided to use it as a sail and constructed a raft to sail out. He waited for the right tidal winds and high tides to launch his raft and was successful. After very tough days & rough weather in the vast Ocean, he was picked by a cargo ship after a storm almost ripped his raft apart. He lost his friend WILSON in the voyage which filled him with huge grief.

And then he arrived at Memphis, only to find that his friends & relatives even held a funeral by putting his personal belongings in the coffin, as they could not find his body. Kelly, who is married and has a daughter, fainted over phone when she was being told that Noland has returned alive after 4 years. Poor Kelly! She really loved him, but it was too late. She gifted him the keys of the Car they once shared and they parted once again. Believe me I cried here.

He was hero to his country and to Fedex, but he was once again abandoned, lonely more than he was at the island. But he was Hero and he proved it by actually delivering the parcel he kept all these years. But there was no one at the consignee address, he left the parcel with a note on it "This package saved my life. Thank you, Chuck Noland." He then departs and stops at a remote crossroads, confused where to go. He asked a woman driving a pickup truck to know where each road leads. As she drives away, Noland notices the same illustration of Wings on the back of her vehicle as it was on the delivered parcel, revealing that she is the owner of the package. He looks at each road, but then he smiles as he looks at that departing woman.
A new Wilson volleyball sitting in the front seat of his Car seems to be smiling broad..
