Chuck Noland, a top international manager for FedEx, and Kelly, a Ph.D. student, are in love and heading towards marriage. Then Chuck's plane to Malaysia crashes at sea during a terrible storm. He's the only survivor, and finds himself marooned on a desolate island. With no way to escape, Chuck must find ways to survive in his new home.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"While the movie had a holiday-season release, the entire narrative takes place in isolation following a plane crash. Christmas elements (setting, plot relevance, iconography, resolution) are entirely absent from the story itself."
