Apple has released the official trailer for Finch, a new sci-fi movie for Apple TV+ that stars a little known actor named Tom Hanks. Available to watch exclusively on Apple’s premium streaming service on November 5, Finch centers on a robotics engineer and the bond that he forms with his dog and a robot in a post-apocalyptic world that’s been reduced to a wasteland by a cataclysmic event. Finch’s robot companion is voiced by Caleb Landry Jones, an actor who moviegoers might recognize from movies such as X-Men: First Class and Get Out.
Here’s Apple’s synopsis for the film, which is directed by Miguel Sapochnik (Game of Thrones, Iron Fist) off an original screenplay by relative newcomer Craig Luck:
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.
