Tom Hanks is profound in his portrayal of a systems engineer who becomes the sole survivor when his plane goes down in the Pacific; he has to learn to fend for himself for four years on an isolated island. This adventure movie by Robert Zemeckis thrills and engrosses without resorting to the usual high-tech tricks.
