A large section from a portable toilet washes up on the island Chuck uses it as a sail in the construction of a raft. He also has regular conversations and arguments with Wilson, which has become his only means of socialization. He has become adept at spearing fish and making fires. One night, Chuck calculates that in order for the rescue workers to find the site of the plane crash, they will have to search an area twice the size of Texas, making him doubtful he will ever be found.įour years later, Chuck is dramatically thinner, bearded, with longer hair, and wearing a loincloth. A short time later he draws a face in the bloody hand print on the ball, names it Wilson, and begins talking to it. In anger and pain, he throws several objects, including a Wilson volleyball from one of the packages. During a first attempt to make fire, Chuck receives a deep wound to his hand. He leaves one package, with a pair of angel wings stenciled on it, unopened. He searches for food, water, and shelter, and opens the packages, finding a number of potentially useful items.

He initially tries to signal for rescue and makes an escape attempt with the remnants of his life raft, but cannot pass the powerful surf and the coral reefs surrounding the island. Several FedEx packages from the crashed plane wash up on the shore, as well as the corpse of one of the pilots, which he buries. After he awakens, he explores the island and soon discovers that it is uninhabited. He clings to the life raft, loses consciousness, and floats all night before being washed up on an island. Chuck escapes the sinking plane and is saved by an inflatable life raft but loses the emergency locator transmitter. While flying through a violent storm, his plane crashes into the Pacific Ocean. A Christmas with relatives is interrupted when Chuck is summoned to resolve a problem in Malaysia. Although the couple wants to get married, Chuck's busy schedule interferes with their relationship. He is in a long-term relationship with Kelly Frears, with whom he lives in Memphis, Tennessee. In December 1995, Chuck Noland is a time-obsessed systems engineer, who travels worldwide resolving productivity problems at FedEx depots.
