Finch is a 2021 American post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama film directed by Miguel Sapochnik from a screenplay written by Craig Luck and Ivor Powell.[1] The film stars Tom Hanks and Caleb Landry Jones.

The film was announced as BIOS in October 2017. Filming took place throughout New Mexico from February to May 2019. The film was scheduled to be released in theaters in the United States by Universal Pictures on October 2, 2020, but was delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was retitled Finch, sold to Apple TV+, and was released on November 5, 2021.[2]

Plot

Ten years have passed since a solar flare destroyed the ozone layer, increasing temperatures to 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit) and turned Earth into a radioactive, uninhabitable wasteland. One of the few survivors, Finch Weinberg, a robotics engineer, lives alone with his dog, Goodyear, in his underground St. Louis laboratory, owned by the company he worked for before the cataclysm. When Finch scavenges for supplies, he puts on a self-made protective suit and drives through the area in a mobile home.

Dying of radiation poisoning, Finch is working on creating a special robot companion for his dog that will take care of him once he's gone. He names it Jeff and feeds it encyclopedic knowledge, including a manual for training and caring for dogs.

When an extreme storm approaches St. Louis, Finch, Jeff and Goodyear set out in the motor home towards San Francisco. Because of the hasty departure, however, only 72 percent of the planned data could be uploaded to Jeff and therefore only has a mind similar to that of a child. Despite his condition worsening, Finch still tries to teach the android some valuable lessons about life and how to protect Goodyear.

Cast

Production

On October 26, 2017, it was announced that Tom Hanks would star in BIOS, a post-apocalyptic film about a robot who is built by Hanks' ailing character Finch to protect the life of his beloved dog when he dies. Miguel Sapochnik would direct the film, which would be produced by Robert Zemeckis and Kevin Misher, from a spec script by Craig Luck and Ivor Powell. Several major studios were bidding for the rights of the film, with production expected to begin in early 2018.[3] A few days later, it was reported that Amblin Entertainment had purchased the project, with Universal Pictures set to distribute it.[4] In December 2017, the film was revealed to be on that year's "Black List" of most-liked unproduced screenplays.[5]

In January 2019, Caleb Landry Jones joined the cast in a "motion capture" role as the robot which Finch builds.[6] In March 2019, Samira Wiley joined the cast.[7] Skeet Ulrich and Laura Harrier were cast in May.[8]

Principal photography began in February 2019, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[9] Filming also took place in Santa Fe, Shiprock, Los Lunas, Socorro, and the White Sands National Monument, and ended in May 2019.[10]

Release

In May 2018, the film was scheduled to be released in theaters by Universal Pictures on October 2, 2020.[11] In June 2020, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic shutting down theaters worldwide, it was delayed to April 16, 2021.[12] In January 2021, it was moved to August 13, 2021,[13] and in March, it was moved a week later to August 20.[14]

In May 2021, it was announced that the film had been retitled from BIOS to Finch and bought by Apple TV+ for a release on November 5, 2021, while Universal would also retain home entertainment and linear television rights to the film.[15]

Reception

The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports an approval rating of 71% based on 104 reviews with an average rating of 6.5/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "Finch may not be the most memorable post-apocalyptic story, but Tom Hanks proves perfectly charming company even after the collapse of civilization."[16] Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 55 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[17]
