Tom Hanks delivers a tour de force performance in this Robinson Crusoe-style epic about one man's ultimate battle against nature...and against himself. Chuck Noland (Hanks) is a self-made man who perfectly twines his busy career as a system engineer for FedEx with his deepening romantic relationship with his girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt). But his whole life changes on Christmas Eve when his flight home crashes into the sea, leaving Chuck stranded on a small deserted island with only a few FedEx packages floating in from the wreckage to remind him of civilization. Chuck slowly learns to survive--finding food and water, creating shelter, making a fire--but as time passes, his toughest battle becomes one against loneliness. Four years later, Chuck makes an incredible escape from the island and is rescued, but when he arrives home, he finds that the things he once held onto in life--including Kelly--have dramatically changed.

Few films can prepare you for this unflinching fact-based drama about a group of tormented high-school teens who finally decide to take a stand against their evil nemesis. Directed by Larry Clark (Kids), the film stars Nick Stahl as Bobby Kent, a mean, violent youth who exerts a strong physical and mental control over Marty (Brad Renfro), but whose devious acts range far worse to their wider circle of acquaintances. Tired of Bobby's hateful behavior, the group comes to a decision: he must be killed. What follows is a shocking, realistic and utterly disturbing sequence of events that leaves all of their lives in tatters. "Brilliantly and courageously well-acted...perceptive and wounding" (Roger Ebert). With Rachel Miner, Bijou Phillips, Michael Pitt, Kelli Garner, Daniel Franzese and Leo Fitzpatrick.
