Chuck Noland is a time-obsessed systems engineer who travels worldwide resolving productivity problems at FedEx depots. His girlfriend Kelly is often neglected by his dedication to work, and his compulsive personality suggests a conflicted man. But on Christmas Eve, Chuck proposes marriage to Kelly right before embarking on a large assignment. On the assignment, his plane crash lands in the Pacific, leaving Chuck stranded on a remote island, and his fast-paced life is slowed to a crawl, as he finds himself miles removed from any human contact. Finding solace only in a volleyball that he befriends, Chuck must now learn to endure the emotional and physical stress of his new life, unsure of when he may return to civilization - if at all.

Trivia:
Tom Hanks didn't exercise and allowed himself to grow pudgy so he could make himself look like an average out-of-shape middle aged man . Production was then put on hold for a year so he could lose fifty pounds and grow out his hair for his time spent on the deserted island. During this hiatus, Robert Zemeckis used the same crew to film What Lies Beneath (2000).

The writers created actual lines of dialogue for Wilson the volleyball, so that Tom Hanks could have a more natural interaction with the inanimate object.

Some crew members were left on the island for a few days to learn some survival skills which they could use for the character of Chuck.

Out of the three volleyballs used in the film, one of them was sold for $18,400 in an auction.
