Plot: Chuck Nolan (Tom Hanks) is a troubleshooter for Federal Express, and the film begins with him showing their Moscow (Russia) staff how FedEx does business. After returning to Memphis (FedEx home base) and visiting his girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt), he is again called away to an Asian destination. He is able to ride in the "jump seats" of a FedEx jumbo jet crossing the Pacific Ocean, and is the only passenger.

During a fierce storm, the plane is blown off-course and ultimately crashes into the ocean. Noland is the only survivor, and is washed ashore on a small island. Chuck tries to escape from the island, but due to strong waves, he is unable to leave, and injures himself in the process. Chuck explores the island, and soon recovers a number of FedEx packages that wash ashore, as well as the body of one of the pilots. Chuck gives him a proper burial, and then opens the packages. Several of the items he makes use of for other purposes (the sharp end of an ice skate he uses as an axe). One of them, with a painting of angel wings on it, he leaves unopened. While trying to make fire from rubbing wood together, Chuck cuts his hand. In a fury, he grabs a Wilson volleyball that was in one package, and throws it. The bloody handprint left on the ball, he fashions into a type of face, and uses it as a companion in his isolation.

Shortly thereafter, Chuck does learn to make fire, and soon is able to spear fish in the waters off the beach. In a small cave, chuck sets up his new home. He suffers from painfull toothache possibly caused by earlier faulty dental work and eventually uses the ice skate blade to knock out the bad tooth. One evening, he plots out the plane's direction, as well as how far it veered off course when they crashed. He estimates that if the search and rescue team did look for the downed cargo plane, they'd search an area the size of Texas...making him doubt he'll be found.
