A first look at Tom Hanks’ new Apple TV+ film Finch has been released in the form of a photo image, which depicts Hanks’ character alongside two faithful companions: a pet dog and a robot helper. It’s an image that’s both intriguing on a sci-fi level and wholesomely heart-warming in the way you’d expect from a Tom Hanks dramatic role. Finch is being directed by Game of Thrones’ Miguel Sapochnik - and no doubt there are plenty of GoT fans who will see this first image and immediately have jokes about how well-lit it is, given Sapochnik’s controversial work on the HBO hit series.
In the film directed by Miguel Sapochnik (Game of Thrones, True Detective), [Tom Hanks] plays a robotics engineer who is among the few survivors of a cataclysmic solar event.
While that event left the world a wasteland, Finch has built a world of his own in the time since, which he shares with his beloved dog, Goodyear. Also living with Finch in his underground bunker is a robot (played by SAG Award winner Caleb Landry Jones) that he’s built to watch over Goodyear when he no longer can.
Ultimately, the trio embarks on a road trip into a desolate American West, and while on this journey, Finch looks to show his creation — who has named himself Jeff — the joy and wonder that come with being alive.
