What was in the FedEx box in Cast Away?

I've been wondering about this since I first saw the movie. Does anyone have ANY idea?

I certainly don't.

Well we dont know since they never showed what was in the box in the movie. So no point in worrying about it.

I'm not sure but did you catch the FedEx commercial they ran during last year's SuperBowl? It was a guy with a beard (supposed to be Tom Hanks) and he delivers the last package and the lady opens it at the door. It had a cell phone, a GPS system, some seeds, and a few other things that he really could have used, it was pretty funny.

Oh yeah I saw that commercial. It was pretty funny.

It didn't show in the movie.

The angel wings painted on the box gave him enough hope to survive. I guess they intentionally didn't reveal it's contents to keep it mysterious.

That was a great movie. It was really sad when Wilson drifted away.

HUH. I never caught that commercial. I can imagine, though, how funny it is...

I thought it was a piece of art from that lady he went to see in the end. He kept drawing some shape.

i agree. its kinda like the silver suit case in ronin. (bad movie by the way) at the end the guy says he forgot what was in it. and your like SON OF A BITCH! any ways cast away was a good movie. i really enjoyed it and really held up with most of the film on 2 actors. the vollyball that played wilson did an excellenat job.

Yes, that was one outstanding acting performance by that volleyball. Probably deserved an Oscar.

Marsellus Wallace's soul.

Damn VanishingPoint...I was going to post the same thing!!!! I have always wondered what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction myself.

What does Marcellus Wallace look like!?

Package Contents:

Satellite Phone
Portable GPS
Kerosene Stove
Pocket Fisherman
Survival Knife with Compass
Water Purification Kit

Hmmm.... Maybe it was nothing significant. Just the fact that that particular package had angel wings painted on it gave Hanks hope to survive.

:pbjti me:

Maybe an inflatable doll.

(sorry about the one line post)

WOW!
Go watch the beginning of the movie again..and pair it with the ending.
Forget everything in the middle.
It was DIVORCE PAPERS.:shk:

Yes it was divorce papers from her husband. Some people just don't pay attention sometimes.
But the angel wings is what gave him hope and the fact that it was the last package and he wanted to deliver it himself when and if he got off the island.
