Every year there are several movies that have the potential for an Oscar.
However, many movies are eliminated and thrown into the back closet of Hollywood. The movies that do survive the critical eye of the reviewers go on to compete with several others to win the valued Oscars. One of the potential candidates is the movie Cast Away . Tom Hanks, the main character, is a FedEx employee, who is required to leave his fianc e for a business trip. Hanks' plane crashes over the middle of the ocean and he is washed ashore onto a deserted island.
