12) Cast Away (2000)

Cast Away is the gripping survivalist story penned by Robert Zemeckis, starring Tom Hanks in one of the greatest performances ever. Portraying the character Chuck Noland, a FedEx executive stranded on a deserted island after a plane crashed, Hanks delivered an Oscar nomination-worthy, physically and emotionally transforming performance. The iconic moments from the film are perhaps epitomized by the relationship that Chuck develops with his surrogate friend, Wilson the volleyball. More than twenty years since its release, Cast Away is a powerful human endurance film chronicling isolation and incessant struggle to survive against insurmountable odds.
