We’ve seen Tom Hanks play a character that defies the odds by himself in a deserted area before in “Cast Away.” However, the actor’s next feature, “Finch,” takes the loneliness of “Cast Away” and adds a post-apocalypse for good measure.

To be fair, as seen in the trailer for “Finch,” Tom Hanks’ character isn’t completely alone. He does have his trusty dog next to him, as well as a robot. And when a massive storm heads to Finch’s post-apocalyptic bunker, threatening to destroy everything in its wake, the scientist has to gather his dog and robot to head out on the open road in search of safer lands.
Joining Hanks in the cast is Caleb Landry Jones, who is probably most famous for his work in “Get Out” and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” “Finch” is directed by “Game of Thrones” veteran Miguel Sapochnik.
“Finch” debuts on Apple TV+ on November 5. You can watch the trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis:
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.
