"With an extensive amount of survival movies, perhaps now we would be more prepared to survive on an uninhabited island. Find shelter, build a fire, find food and clean water - this is what wilderness movies have taught us. Probably the most well-known wilderness movie is Robert Zemeckis' 'Cast Away.'
