'Finch': 5 things about Apple TV+ sci-fi flick starring Oscar-winner Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks returns to Apple TV, and this time he has company as he attempts to survive in a world that has now become a barren wasteland after a cataclysmic solar event decimates life as we know it. 'Finch' sees the Oscar-winner and his dog, Goodyear embark on an ambitious journey that may just be too perilous for Finch to survive. As a backup, he creates a robot, Jeff to take care of his pet should he not survive the trip.
'Finch' was originally titled 'BIOS' and was slated to release in theaters in October 2020, however, the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic pushed the movie to a later date and was retitled 'Finch'. Apple TV+ picked up the film from Universal Pictures and is all set to release in November. While we wait for the post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama, here are some of Hanks' movies that can keep you occupied — 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood', 'Greyhound' and 'Turner & Hooch'.
