About
As of 2026, it's 26 years old.
Cast Away stranded Tom Hanks alone on a desert island and dared to make the most emotionally devastating character in the film a volleyball. The genius is that it works: by the time Wilson floats away, audiences are genuinely wrecked over the loss of a piece of sporting equipment.
Hanks carries nearly the entire movie solo, charting survival, isolation, and the slow erosion of hope with almost no dialogue.
Lonely, gripping, and quietly heartbreaking, Cast Away is the film that made the whole world cry over a volleyball named Wilson.
