Cast Away’s Trailer Is the Entire Movie Summarized in 2 Minutes
Tom Hanks’s film Cast Away shows the entire story from start to finish in its trailer, making it unsurprising and disappointing for audiences. We see the main character drift away from his family and get on a plane which then crashes into the sea. He wakes up later on an island- revealing the plot points in order chronologically.
The trailer not only outlines the film’s story but gives away the ending, too. We see Hanks’s character throughout the movie as he looks for shelter and food, makes Wilson (the famous hand-printed volleyball), and develops a weird relationship with it. The final scene in the trailer shows Hanks at a crossroads in Texas, so you don’t need to watch the whole thing to know how it ends.
