Cast AwayTom Hanks isolates himself in an island doing nothing but playing online poker [wireless internet connection/ laptop with solar energy system - all made from shells and sand].There is a 50 minute sequence without any lines, just him playing poker.After a while his girlfriend [and the rest of the world] considers him dead. He is sloppy and has awful hair/ beard. Eats junk and is so alone he begins to lose it [ie. talking to his card protector Wilson].After a long streak of bad variance [at a certain point he considers suicide], he decides to leave the island. As he returns to the 'real world', he starts to see all non-poker things in a different way.
