'Cast Away' Might Be Peak Hanks

We’ve reached the apex of Tom Hanks: 2000’s Cast Away. He’s on screen 99% of the time, mostly paired with a volleyball, and audiences responded to the tune of $429 million worldwide. He’d never be that huge again, though we’re not sure how he even could be.

Join us as we revisit this Zemeckis-helmed, basic-cable classic, 20 years after its release, and marvel at the “Tom Hanks, Helen Hunt, Nick Searcy” billing that’s even more flummoxing in 2020.
