It seems like a very routine castaway movie. A small group of survivors are on a deserted tropical island after a plane crash, where most other passengers have been killed. At first, they expect rescue will come quickly. After all, the plane will be noted as missing quickly, and where should be rather easy to discover. But one of the passengers cannot contact anyone on the plane's radio, only static on all channels. A mix of passengers, one skilled in botany, which is handy as they try to find edible foods. Another is a hunter, useful for getting animals for food. At first, once they realize rescue is not coming soon, they work together to build a large raft and set sail. As expected, a storm comes, tears the raft apart, and they wind up back on the island. And sort of boring. But what happens then makes for a much more interesting movie. One of the survivors, Nick, starts to get all 'godly'. He starts to throw down rules. He sees himself in charge. Since he ran out of ammo, he has set up traps in the jungle, and forbids anyone to enter. He starts to get preachy, and it is clear he feels that man has dominion over women, and women have no voice in the matter. Two of the survivors are gay, and that is an abomination to him. There is only one woman of childbearing age, and she is told it is her duty. Her answer if they are the last people on earth, then it is as good as lost. The movie is then not going the way most would think it would or should.
