Finch

Finch (2021) is a science-fiction drama you can watch online on iFILM, starring Tom Hanks and directed by Miguel Sapochnik. A solar flare has scorched the Earth, and one of the last men alive is racing to build a guardian.

Finch is dying. His one fear isn't death but what happens to his dog afterward. So he assembles a robot from salvaged parts and downloads everything he knows into its memory. Then the three of them — man, machine and dog — pile into a battered RV and head west across dead cities and dust storms, away from the radiation that would kill them in the open.

The robot, who names himself Jeff, learns to walk, talk and trust on the move, voiced by Caleb Landry Jones with surprising warmth. Finch tries to hand over the things no manual covers. It's a quiet road movie about what survives the end of the world. Stream Finch online on iFILM.
