“Cast Away” (2000): Considering that his sole costar for much of the film is a volleyball, Hanks’ talent is invaluable to this saga of a courier company executive stranded on an island by a plane crash.
“Saving Private Ryan” (1998): Under Oscar winner Steven Spielberg’s direction, Hanks is the perfect everyman in representing a U.S. soldier in charge of others amid the horrors of World War II.
