The precise location was the uninhabited Monuriki island. After audiences watched Cast Away , many visited the South Pacific hideaway. Countless viewers thought Cast Away was directly based on a true story.
A plane crash over the Pacific Ocean is not impossible. In fact, several flights have vanished or crashed in reality. It might be a work of fiction, but real life and true stories inspired the Tom Hanks survival drama that is Cast Away. The movie was written by William Boyles Jr. Isolated for four years, Noland struggles to survive and to keep sane with his only company being Wilson, a volleyball that was part of the plane's cargo, with a face painted with Noland's own bloody handprint.
Noland braves the elements and managed to survive for years, and eventually is able to return home. In the process of researching and writing the script for Cast Away Broyles consulted real professional survival experts before taking the significant step of deliberately isolating himself on an island in the Gulf of California, intending to put himself in the shoes of his main character. While the exact story of Cast Away is not thought to be a true story, there are several real-life accounts of people who spent time on uninhabited lands that may have provided inspiration.
Among the most famous is the story of Alexander Selkirk, who is known by some as a real-life Robinson Crusoe, inspiring the Daniel Defoe novel. Selkirk travelled around the South Pacific in the early s, taking part in buccaneering pursuits. He took a few items with him from the ship, including a knife, bedding and a Bible, and was left to hunt for his own food which included lobsters and feral goats. The story goes, that he was forced from the shores of the island further inland after masses of sea lions came to the beaches for mating season.
It was not an easy existence, and his time on the deserted land was full of loneliness and remorse, as well as physical challenges such as attacks from rats — though feral cats proved useful in keeping the rodents at bay. He built huts out of materials he found on the islands, made his own clothes from animal skins and chased prey.
He was eventually rescued in , four years after his arrival, when a ship came by and took him aboard. He later spent more time at sea, continuing his privateering voyages and returned to London for some time, where his story became well known.
But finally there is gratitude. FedEx provided filming locations at their hubs in Memphis, Los Angeles, and Moscow, and helped with logistical support. Just a satellite phone, GPS locator, fishing rod, water purifier, and some seeds. Just silly stuff. Hanks recalled how before he left the production in Fiji, he received a cut and it got infected. Turns out he had a staph infection in his leg and it almost gave him blood poisoning.
You could have died from this thing! Be sitting in the secret square [ Hollywood Squares ] with Susan Anton right next to him? In the same audio interview , Hanks discussed Noland post-ordeal and him standing at the fork of the road in Texas. People do that all time. The reality show debuted on May 31, , about seven months before Cast Away was released.
