Finch sends Tom Hanks across a ruined America with nothing but a dog and a machine he built to keep it safe.

What is Finch about?

An aging inventor has spent years alone with his dog on a planet scoured clean by solar storms, scavenging what supplies remain and shielding himself from radiation and roaming strangers. Sensing that his own time is running out, he assembles a robot with one purpose: caring for the dog once he no longer can. As the three set out across the Southwest in a converted RV, the machine begins absorbing lessons far beyond its programming, picking up habits, humor, and a wary sense of loyalty from the man teaching it, while the journey itself keeps testing what any of them can actually protect.

About the cast

Tom Hanks anchors the film as the weary inventor, with Caleb Landry Jones, Samira Wiley, Laura Harrier, Skeet Ulrich, Lora Martinez-Cunningham, Alexis Raben, and Jon Donahue filling out the supporting roles around him.

Context & significance

Miguel Sapochnik directs, bringing the same eye for scale and quiet character beats he is known for to a story that mixes drama with post-apocalyptic science fiction. The Belgium and United States co-production runs 115 minutes and leans on practical, grounded effects rather than spectacle for its own sake, keeping the focus on the makeshift family at its center rather than on the collapse around them. The road-movie shape of the story, with its shifting weather and improvised shelter, gives the drama room to breathe between the tenser stretches, and the genre elements stay grounded in the daily logistics of survival rather than in any single dramatic set piece.
