Away Movie Writing Exercises
What happened in the movie?
What was it about? Retell the story in writing.
The movie was about a man who got stranded.
Because, Flying through a violent storm, his airplane crashes into the Pacific Ocean. Chuck is able to escape the sinking
plane and is saved by an inflatable life-raft but in the process, loses the raft's emergency
locator transmitter.
He clings to the life-raft, loses consciousness, and floats all night before
being washed up on an island.
After he awakens, he explores the island and
soon discovers that it is uninhabited. Several FedEx packages from the crashed
plane wash up on the shore, as well as the corpse of one of the pilots (whom he
buries). He initially tries to signal for rescue and makes an escape attempt
with the remnants of his life-raft, but he cannot pass the powerful surf. He
searches for food, water, shelter, and opens the packages, finding a number of
potentially useful items. He leaves one package, with a pair of wings painted
on it, unopened.
During a first attempt to make fire, Chuck
receives a deep wound to his hand. In anger he throws several objects,
including a Wilson
Sporting Goods
volleyball from one of the packages. A short time later he draws a face in the
bloody hand print on the ball, names it Wilson and begins talking to it.
Four years later Chuck is dramatically
thinner, bearded, his hair is longer, and he is wearing a loincloth. He has
become adept at spearing fish and making fires. He also has regular
conversations and arguments with Wilson.
After a large section from a portable toilet washes up on the island, Chuck uses
it as a sail in the construction of a raft. After spending some time building
and stocking the raft and deciding when the weather conditions will be optimal
(using an analemma he has created in his cave to monitor
the time of year), he launches, using the sail to overcome the powerful surf.
After some time on the ocean, a storm nearly tears his raft apart. The
following day, "Wilson" falls from the raft and is lost, leaving
Chuck overwhelmed by loneliness. Later, he is found drifting by a passing cargo
ship.
