‘News of the World’
Based on the novel of the same name, Tom Hanks stars as Captain Kidd, a Civil War veteran that travels around the Dust Bowl reading newspapers aloud to largely illiterate (but paying) audiences as a way to pass the time. His life is upended when he comes across a German immigrant named Johanna, who was kidnapped from her family and raised for six years as a Kiowa tribe member. The journey to return Johanna to her family in Castroville, 400 miles away, proves to be a very tough experience that will test both of their patiences, mettles, and even their lives.
