Although it is built to look exactly as it was in the movie, this ball is more than a movie prop. This replica of the actual ball used in the movie has a top-quality, synthetic leather cover for great touch and feel that is ready for game play on a crowded beach or a deserted island. All level players of the game can use this ball. The Mr. Wilson Cast Away may be a great friend, but it's an even better ball. Note: volleyball arrives deflated and a pump is required to inflate.
