Wilson cast away movie#
In one of the most memorable scenes of the movie - Hank's character is seen plunging into the water - struggling to swim to save him and reluctantly returning to the relative safety of the raft before screaming out 'WILSON - Wilson I'm sorry - I'm sorry Wilson'. Sadly as viewers will remember - during one of the endless days in the water - Wilson becomes detached from the broken raft and floats away with the current. The ball serves as Chuck's companion throughout the four years.įinally, in an attempt to free himself from the confines of the island - Chuck builds a raft and takes it, supplies and Wilson out to sea. The FedEx worker finds a volleyball - and with blood on his hand after an accident, while trying to start a fire - draws a face on it and names it 'Wilson'.

The movie that starred Tom Hanks as Chuck Noland told the story of a lone survivor of a plane crash - who for four years lived on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean. His glittering career started when he became the only companion of Tom Hanks Chuck Noland in Cast Away (2000). The buyer “places it high among the most expensive movie props ever sold at auction,” as reported by The Times.Ĭast Away was a smash hit when released in 2000. Wilson the Volleyball is one of Hollywoods most loved volleyballs. The movie prop was sold at Prop Store Auctions to an anonymous buyer for an incredible £230,000 ($308,544). Originally expected to sell for around £60,000 - the volleyball dubbed 'Wilson' by Tom Hank's character in the movie staggered bidders when the hammer finally fell last week at auction.
