Movies with only one actor depict intense personal journeys that often examine isolation and survival in unique environments, from Cast Away to Moon.
Movies with only one actor strip down the medium to its essentials: one star and one fascinating story. These films can be especially riveting explorations of intense personal journeys that often examine isolation and survival in unique environments. While some of these movies may include brief appearances from supporting characters or voices, the weight of the story rests entirely on one actor’s shoulders.
Directed by Francis Lawrence and based on Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel, I Am Legend was massively popular in the 2000s and was significantly boosted by Will Smith’s star power. It’s still one of his best performances to date, despite the film becoming notorious for having one of the worst movie endings ever that undermined the source material’s message.
Buried is an incredible display of Reynolds’ range as an actor. The film soars thanks to his emotional performance, with Reynolds conveying terror, frustration, and surprising moments of calm within the frantic 90-minute runtime. Buried also greatly benefits from Cortés’ creative direction, which maximizes the limited space of the coffin by incorporating unique angles, lighting, and even sound design to make each moment thrilling and interesting.
Co-written, produced, and directed by Danny Boyle, 127 Hours immerses viewers in the mountain climber’s terrifying accident. Franco is impeccably cast as Ralston, with the actor conveying the fear and agony, especially as he realizes what he must do.
Though it includes digital elements such as the computer-generated tiger, Life of Pi largely relies on Suraj Sharma’s performance in his debut role. Audiences watch Pi change from a scared boy into a resourceful survivor while learning a few lessons about faith and hope along the way. This film has a gorgeous dreamlike setting, with the ocean taking on a life of its own as both a frightening foe and a serene companion.
