Three tons for washed-up volleyball Tom Hanks talked to in the movie Cast Away | Abroad

Hanks decides to make the ball his only companion on the island. In this way he hopes to prevent him from going crazy from loneliness. Hanks, who plays Chuck Noland in the film, crafts a hairdo from tobacco leaves at the ball and draws a face on it. Wilson then drags him through a grueling survival struggle.

The film, for which the actor had to lose 25 kilos, earned Hanks an Oscar nomination.

During the auction, several attributes from well-known films went under the hammer. It remains unclear who the buyer of the volleyball is.
