The protagonist is just an ordinary employee of the courier company, with a big belly and a beautiful girlfriend. If it weren't for an air crash, the protagonist's life might still be getting married and having children, eating doughnuts to continue to gain weight. Destiny made a big joke with his master, and his life trajectory has taken a huge turn.

During the 4 years on the desert island, the protagonist was forced to adapt to the survival on the island. His belly was gone and his figure became dark and strong. When lonely, there is only one volleyball "Wilson" with him. Life is so cruel. When you think that you will never live anymore, there is always a belief that is still supporting, that is to see your lover again, so you have to overcome all difficulties to live. After returning to the real world through many difficulties and dangers, the protagonist goes to find his only spiritual support in these years-his girlfriend. However, when they met again, his girlfriend was already married, and the only belief that supported him collapsed. The protagonist stands at the crossroads at the end, the way forward is elusive, but what's the matter, the most difficult time in life has been experienced, what's the next fear?

This film is like a one-man show by Tom Hanks! A simple and boring island without gorgeous special effects, but it can catch the audience’s attention. Watching him wrapped in a rag in the theater, eating and drinking on the island, I have to admit that Tom Hanks’s acting skills and screenwriting are powerful. . Now I have watched a lot of "blockbusters" that can complete the entire filming under the green screen. Looking back at this kind of real-time shooting, there is no dazzling technique, and the film is supported by acting and plot. I especially feel the preciousness of this kind of film. .
