Trailer for J.C. Chandor’s ‘All Is Lost’ Starring Robert Redford
Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions have released the first trailer for the J.C. Chandor’s (Margin Call) upcoming survival drama All Is Lost. The film stars Robert Redford as “one man lost at sea and his battle against the elements to stay alive.” All Is Lost received a standing ovation at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, with many reviewers calling Redford’s performance a tour de force. The film opens October 18th.
Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man (Redford) wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation equipment and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of a violent storm. Despite his success in patching the breached hull, his mariner’s intuition and a strength that belies his age, the man barely survives the tempest.
Using only a sextant and nautical maps to chart his progress, he is forced to rely on ocean currents to carry him into a shipping lane in hopes of hailing a passing vessel. But with the sun unrelenting, sharks circling and his meager supplies dwindling, the ever-resourceful sailor soon finds himself staring his mortality in the face.
