News of the World

Tom Hanks portrays Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd, a Civil War veteran who now travels from one town to the next as a nonfiction storyteller. He shares the stories of Presidents and Queens, great feuds, catastrophic catastrophes and riveting adventures from far-flung lands. He crosses paths on the Texas plains with Johanna Zengel (Helena Zengel), who is a 10-year old girl that was adopted by the Kiowa People six years before and raised like one of their own. Johanna is hostile to the world and her uncle, who are returning her to her biological family against her wishes. Kidd has agreed to give the child the place she is legally entitled. They will travel hundreds of miles through the wilderness to find a home for the child. Universal Pictures
