"Cast Away" is One Reason Why Tom Hanks is One of the Best Actors Ever

"Cast Away" is one reason why Tom Hanks is one of the best actors ever. Chuck, played by Tom Hanks is a FedEx executive. After a terrible plane crash he is forced to live on his own on a deserted island. He goes through many obstacles of surviving, making fires, savaging for food, and trying to stay alive, all for returning to his loved one,  Kelly, played by Helen Hunt. After years of surviving on this island, Chuck has completely transformed into a different person but still remains set on his goal of returning home.

This film is incredible mainly because of Tom Hanks. For about 90% of this film it is just Tom Hanks. Only a few actors can pull the deserted person role, Will Smith, in "I am Legend", and Tom Hanks are only two. Everything in this film was so interesting to watch. And this was mainly because of the amazing directing by Robert Zemeckis. There are not many actors that can pull of this role, and Tom Hanks clearly deserved every recognition of this film. I doubt you haven't seen this film, because most people have seen it, but this film clearly displays that Tom Hanks is one of the most well-rounded actors. Furthermore, most of his films are not flops. He has been in a countless amount of films, and he has also produced many great shows including, "Big Love" and "The Pacific." He is one of the best ever, hands down.
