Cast Away

Cast Away is a film starring Tom Hanks (Chuck) as a FedEx employee. He has a girlfriend named Kelly. While he was having a Christmas dinner with Kelly and their family, he had to resolve a work problem. Unfortunately, the plane that he was riding experienced turbulence before crashing into the Pacific Ocean. Chuck was able to survive and with the help of a life raft, he washed up on an uninhabited island. He had to live on that island for four years before he was able to build a strong enough raft to use to escape from the island. He was rescued by a cargo ship. He found out that Kelly got married and has a daughter. Chuck delivered one of the FedEx parcel that he found washed up on the island with him. At the end of the movie, he met a woman who is possibly the receiver of the parcel.

If I were to experience the same situation, I would first make sure that I have all the basic means for survival on the island. I would search high and low for water and food supplies. Then, I would regularly send out S.O.S signals. While waiting to be rescued, I might as well make myself comfortable and turn the island into my own personal paradise.
