Apple Original Films announced that “Finch” will debut on Apple TV+ on Friday, November 5. Tom Hanks and Caleb Landry Jones star in the film. Furthermore, Jones just won best actor at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. Miguel Sapochnik directs words by Craig Luck and Ivor Powell. Producers include Kevin Misher, Jack Rapke, Jacqueline Levine and Powell.
Here’s a synopsis of the “Finch” provided by Apple:
In “Finch,” a man, a robot and a dog form an unlikely family in a powerful and moving 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 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 humor, 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.
