Tom Hanks and Apple TV+ continue to build a beautiful relationship.

As reported by Deadline, Apple has landed the streaming rights to "Finch," a new sci-fi film from Amblin Entertainment that will star Tom Hanks. The film is expected to release later this year on the streaming service as well as in theaters.

The film is directed by Miguel Sapochnik, who helmed some of the most ambitious episodes of Game of Thrones, including the "Battle of the Bastards" episode in Season 6 which won him the first of his two Emmys for the show. Script is by first-time screenwriter Craig Luck and Ivor Powell, latter of whom was associate producer of Blade Runner and Alien. Pic is produced by Kevin Misher, Jack Rapke, Jacqueline Levine and Powell. The executive producers are Robert Zemeckis, Luck, Sapochnik, Andy Berman and Adam Merims.

In Finch, a man, a robot and a dog form an unlikely family, as the man tries to ensure 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. 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 Get Out's Caleb Landry 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 the joy and wonder of what it means to be alive.

Hanks has already seen one of his projects on Apple TV+. The actor starred in the Apple Original "Greyhound" and will soon premiere his new series "Masters of the Air" on the streaming service as well.
