Chandor's All is Lost stars Robert Redford and Robert Redford alone in the nearly dialogue-free story of a nameless sailor (referred to as "Our Man" in the script) who, after a catastrophic collision with a shipping container, is forced to do what he can to survive in the face of an ongoing storm and the unforgiving elements of the Indian Ocean.
