So how was the 77-year-old Redford hooked to play such a challenging role for another director? He explains, “When I read it I said, “Jeez, I mean, this is pretty tough stuff.’ And the fact that there was only one character in it, and there was no dialogue, I felt that kind of boldness was exciting. I tend to lean towards things that are not so identifiable.”;

In theaters now, the gripping survival drama of courage and perseverance features Oscar winner Robert Redford’s heralded return as an actor for hire, playing a man who must battle to survive after his boat is wrecked in the open seas. The film was written and directed by J.C. Chandor, the Oscar-nominated writer of Margin Call.
