Tom Hanks stars as a veteran Civil War captain and storyteller who agrees to accompany a girl returning to her family after being taken by the Kiowa people six years earlier. The two travel hundreds of miles of dangerous frontier. The making of the movie marked a reunion of Hanks and director Paul Greengrass, who had worked together on “Captain Phillips,” a film about the hijacking of a U.S. container ship by Somali pirates.
