When it comes to films about survival, the first one to cross your mind will be Tom Hanks starrer, Cast Away. Chuck Noland (Hanks) travels around the world as a FedEx system analyst. Misfortune leads him to a plane crash, and Chuck ends up alone on an island. We see the survival strategies of a man who is all alone on an island for four long years and presumed dead by his family. The only companion he had was ‘Wilson’, a volleyball, on which he painted a face with his blood. When Chuck is finally rescued and returned to civilization, he finds out his fiancée is already married to someone else.
