Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Six Days, Seven Nights
Magazine editor Robin Monroe (Heche) and her fiance Frank Martin (Schwimmer) are on a romantic South Seas vacation when Robin is called away on business. Needing to find a quick flight to Tahiti, she recruits the services of rough around the edges, gruff cargo pilot Quinn Harris (Ford) who lives on the islands. He agrees to take her because he needs the money. They take off in his weather beaten plane but the flight turns rocky when a sudden storm comes up. Quinn tries to control the plane and bring it down safely, but instead they end up crashing on a deserted island. Once there the mismatched pair find themselves at odds but stranded together, they realize that they must work together if they are going to survive the island. They both face frustration at their situation, danger when they encounter modern day pirates and are chased throughout the island, snakes, wild boars and finally, a growing attraction for each other.
