Apple Original Films have debuted the first look of Tom Hanks in the upcoming feature ‘Finch’ alongside an announcement for its premiere on the streamer.
Hitting Apple TV+ on Friday, November 5, Hanks’ follow up to the Apple Original Film ‘Greyhound’, follows a man, a robot and a dog as they form an unlikely family in an adventure of one man’s quest to ensure that his beloved canine companion will be cared for after he’s gone.
Hanks stars as Finch, a robotics engineer and one of the few survivors of a cataclysmic solar event that has left the world a wasteland. But Finch, who has been living in an underground bunker for a decade, has built a world of his own that he shares with his dog, Goodyear. He creates a robot, played by Caleb Landry Jones, to watch over Goodyear when he no longer can. As the trio embarks on a perilous journey into a desolate American West, Finch strives to show his creation, who names himself Jeff, the joy and wonder of what it means to be alive. Their road trip is paved with both challenges and humour, as it’s as difficult for Finch to goad Jeff and Goodyear to get along as it is for him to manage the dangers of the new world.
