All Is Lost 2013 survival drama full movie

All Is Lost is a 2013 survival drama film written and directed by J. C. Chandor. The film stars Robert Redford as a man lost at sea. Redford is the only cast member, and the film has very few spoken words. All Is Lost is Chandor's second feature film, following his 2011 debut Margin Call. It screened out of competition at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

Somewhere in the Indian Ocean ("1700 nautical miles from the Sumatra Straits"), a man (Robert Redford) says, "I'm sorry. I know that means little at this point, but I am. I tried. I think you would all agree that I tried. To be true, to be strong, to be kind, to love, to be right, but I wasn't." He declares, "All is lost."Eight days earlier, as he wakes up, he sees that water has started to flood his boat, the Virginia Jean, a Cal 39 yacht. He goes out onto the deck and sees that his boat has collided with a wayward shipping container which has ripped a hole in the hull. He goes below to get a sea anchor and ties it to the container. After dislodging the container, water is streaming into his boat. To correct this, he has to head in the opposite direction of his original course to tilt the boat away from the hole. He goes to work patching up the hole in his boat and uses the manual- or hand-bilge pump hole to remove the water from the cabin. After the cleanup, exhausted, he finds that the boat’s navigational and communications systems have been damaged, due to saltwater intrusion as a result of the collision. He tries to repair the radio and connects it to one of the boat's batteries but is ultimately unsuccessful. When he climbs the mast to repair an antenna lead, he sees an oncoming tropical storm. He immediately descends to make preparations for it.The storm quickly reaches his position, and he runs before the wind under bare poles for a while, until he feels this storm tactic becomes too tiresome and dangerous. He intends to bring the boat into a hove-to position, but when crawling to the bow to hoist the storm jib, he is thrown overboard and only just regains the deck after a long struggle. The boat capsizes and turtles, and after a further 180-degree roll, is dis-masted, and most of the equipment on board destroyed. With the boat badly holed and sinking, he decides to abandon ship in an inflatable life raft, salvaging whatever he can to survive.As he learns how to operate a sextant he recovered from the boat, he discovers he is near one of the major shipping lanesin the area and, a day or two later, finds that he is being pulled towards it by ocean currents. During the journey, he survives another storm. But his supplies dwindle, and he learns too late that his drinking water has been contaminated with sea water. He improvises a solar still from his water container and a plastic bag to get fresh water.He reaches the shipping lanes and is passed by two container ships. They do not notice him and continue on, despite his use of signaling flares. He eventually drifts out of the shipping lanes and back to open ocean. However, he is out of food and water and cannot hope to survive much longer. On the eighth day, he writes a letter, puts it in a jar, and throws it in the water as a message in a bottle for anyone to find.Later that night, he sees a light in the distance, possibly another ship. He does not use his last signaling device, but tears pages from his journal along with charts to create a signal fire. After he loses control of the fire and the fire consumes his raft, he falls into the water, struggling to swim. He stops swimming and lets himself sink. As he sinks, he sees the hull of a boat with a search light approaching his burning raft.He swims up towards the light and the surface to grasp an outstretched hand, and the scene dissolves into white.
