A few hours into the flight, they run into a storm.

Chuck hears the pilots talking about losing all radio coverage and after that,something in the
plane explodes which leads to a heavy turbulence in the flight. The plane starts to lose control, and one of the pilots, while trying to get Chuck
to his seat, hits his head pretty badly.Chuck sees the ocean getting closer and the plane crashes into the Pasific Ocean. The plane gets filled with
water, and soon Chuck starts to drown. He uses the emergency inflatable life raft, given to him by one of the pilots.With the help of that
raft,Chuck manages to get himself afloat. But the weather is bad,and strong ocean waves start to hit him. It is a situation of life or death for
Chuck. Luckily,Chuck survives and finds himself ashore on an uninhabited Island. The emergency raft had barely managed to take Chuck on that
Island. Chuck gets out of the raft and sees that the watch is still with him. He also finds a few fedex packages which had been washed ashore.
He picks up the packages and finds himself all alone,with no other island visible for miles ahead. He draws a help sign on the ground to get
attention of any passing planes. He looks at the clock given to him by Kelly, and his first day on that island ends.Next day, he finds a
few more packages. He finds coconuts on the island with which he quenches his thirst. He goes on to explore the island, and finds a
cave. He then climbs on top of the island to get a better view of everything. From above, he sees something in the water, and
quickly goes down to see what it is. But to his surprise, it’s the dead body of the pilot who tried to save him. Chuck digs a burial
place, and places the dead body of the pilot inside it. He gives a resting place for the person who tried to save him. And soon, his
second day also ends,with him going nowhere out of that island. At night, he keeps looking at the picture of Kelly inside the watch
she gave him.On the third night, he sees a ship far away from the island. He calls out for help, but he is too far away for his voice to
reach the ship. He flashes the small torch light at the ship, but it is also of no help. To save his life, Chuck packs his things, and
rides the damaged raft in hopes of reaching the ship. But the tides are way too strong, and he gets thrown into the water. His leg
gets cut on a coral reef, and he screams out in pain. Defeated, Chuck goes back to the island, and it starts to rain heavily. To shelter
himself from the rain, he enters the cave which he discovered a couple of days back. Inside the cave, Chuck finds a small water
stream, and starts to drink water from it.Exhausted by the day, Chuck falls asleep, and the small torch also loses its power.

Next day, he opens the packages in hopes of finding anything useful. In one of the packages, he finds a volleyball. He also finds a
pair of skating boots and a dress. With the help of the boot, he can now cut coconuts easily. And he uses the dress to catch small
fishes.
He opens all the packages, except for one package which has a sticker of angel wings
on it. Chuck keeps the package unopened to keep it as motivation for him to stay alive,
and deliver the package to its rightful owner. He finally fixes himself a small tent, and
tries to light fire. He tries for hours and hours but gets no success. He ends up getting
a cut on his hands, which finally breaks him. He throws everything in his sight, and shouts to the top of his lungs. Few minutes later,
he finds his blood stained hand print on the volleyball. Chuck maes a face on the volleyball and sets it in front of him, to make it look
like he wasn’t alone. He starts to talk to the ball, and after a while, he finally manages to light a fire.
Chuck gets happy and starts to dance around the fire. He finally had something to be positive about. He cooks a crab on the fire,
and eats it, all while talking to the ball. He names the ball Wilson, as it was manufactured by Wilson’s Company.
Next day, he gets severe pain in his teeth. He uses the skating boot, and a rock to get
his teeth out, but loses consciousness in the process.
It's been four years since he has been stuck on this island. Chuck isn’t the same as
he looked four years back. His hair and beards have grown massively and Wilson has also changed a lot. In the time he has spent
on that island, Wilson has become an important part of his life, which has in a way kept him going.
One day, when he’s sleeping in his cave, he hears a noise and when he goes out to check, he finds a broken piece of a plastic door
and brings it with him.
Chuck looks at the broken piece of plastic door, thinking about what to do with it. Finally,
Chuck gets an idea of what he can use it for. Chuck has created a monthly chart to calculate the time. They’re currently in February,
and Chuck tells Wilson that they are getting
out of there in April, when the sea waves will be in their favor.
Chuck plans to get out of the island in two months. Chuck starts to prepare a wooden raft
to get out from there. He also makes ropes out of tree skins, and uses those ropes to
tie the woods together. When he is out of those ropes, he uses the cassette reels to
tie those woods.
But he still needs some more rope. He goes on top of the island to get more rope for
the raft. Here, we see that in the four years, Chuck had nearly given up on his life, and
was contemplating suicide. However, he didn’t and now, he uses that rope and fits the plastic sheet in his raft in a way that would
help the raft sail.
The time has finally come. Chuck writes a message on a rock before boarding his ship
with Wilson. He starts to row the raft to save itself from the strong waves. He fights
with the waves, and manages to keep the raft afloat.
Chuck thinks that he has overcome all of the problems. He is happy, and he spends more days on that raft, in hopes it will sail him
back to his home. But he doesn't know that more problems are coming his way. He doesn't have a drink of water and he doesn't
have food to eat. So, he drinks the rainwater collected in his raft, and he starts to catch fish to eat.Then one night, it starts to rain
heavily, and Chuck holds on to the raft for his dear life. When the storm clears, the raft is in very bad shape, and Chuck cannot find
WIlson.
He cries out for the ball which has been his only friend for over four years. Chuck starts
to panic, and then he finally sees Wilson floating a little far away from the raft.
He jumps into the water to save Wilson. He reaches out with his one hand to get to Wilson,with his other hand trying to keep a hold
of the raft.
The rope to the raft keeps getting out of his band. So, Chuck has to stop to get it
back. But in all this, Wilson has drifted further away from Chuck. He desperately tries,
but he just cannot reach Wilson. In the end, Chuck loses hope of getting him back, and
cries out in pain of losing the only friend he had in the four years he spent on that
island. Wilson is lost, and the raft is broken. There seems to be no hope for Chuck.
Chuck gets sick and cannot even move. A whale sprays water on him, and we see a ship passing behind him. Chuck finally opens
his eyes, and turns back to see a huge cargo ship passing by.
