Tom Hanks at a film festival
Tom Hanks’ 5-year-old hidden gem of a sci-fi film is currently flying high on the global streaming charts. Finch released on the service then known as Apple TV+ back in 2021, and half a decade on, viewers are still returning to watch Hanks as a post-apocalyptic survivor whose only company is a dog and a hand-made robot named Jeff.
Hanks’ heartfelt five-year-old sci-fi foray shows up on the Apple TV global streaming charts in a handful of international markets for March 22, 2026, giving it an average rating across countries of 8.3. The movie is doing best in Belarus, where it comes in at #4. It’s also in the top 5 in Luxembourg, coming in at #5. Finch’s streaming numbers place it in the top 10 in the European nations of Hungary, Moldova, Norway, and Poland. It’s also doing well in South America, placing in the top 10 in Brazil and Ecuador, and in Mexico, where it checks in at #9. A few Asian countries are also boosting Finch’s view counts, with the film placing in the top 10 in Japan, Thailand, and Forrest Gump's old haunts of Vietnam. Originally intended as a theatrical release, Finch was a casualty of the COVID era, ultimately getting a delayed streaming-only roll-out. Critics were mostly kind to the film, which currently sits at 74% on Rotten Tomatoes. Reviewers singled out Hanks for praise, giving the star kudos for his ability to keep the audience engaged in a film where he is the only actor on-screen. Negative reviews focused on the film’s pacing problems while giving it a downgrade for a lack of originality. ScreenRant’s positive Finch review called Hanks “a one-man wonder” and says of the film, “Perfectly balancing tense drama with charming humor, Finch highlights the best and worst of humanity, and a robot-dog friendship worth remembering.” Revisiting the movie earlier in March 2026, ScreenRant noted Hanks' performances in the likes of Cast Away and The Terminal, where he also spends large chunks of time doing essentially a solo act. “Not many actors could pull off performing all alone on the big screen as well as Tom Hanks does,” the article says.

It continues, “Interestingly, it has actually become one of his greatest traits on film as he's done it multiple times and delivered in spades in each occurrence. They make up some of Hanks' best movies, which is saying something.“ Finch may not rank among Hanks’ best movies in the eyes of critics or audiences, but global Apple TV subscribers are enjoying it anyway.
