The movie is based on a graphic novel that one reviewer called a once in a decade kind of book. Plus the rest of the cast features names that should get moviegoers excited.

Here how to watch
Here is now playing exclusively in movie theaters worldwide. Here are the details on how to watch Here.
Here cast
Tom Hanks and Robin Wright headline the Here cast. This marks the first time that the two have acted together since Forrest Gump, but both have been plenty busy since then. Just in the last few years, Hanks has starred in A Man Called Otto, Asteroid City and Elvis, while some of Wright's most notable roles in recent years have included House of Cards, Wonder Woman, Blade Runner 2049 and, most recently, the Netflix movie Damsel.
Something to note with Hanks and Wright for the movie, per a report by Variety, is that they will be digitally de-aged for the movie.
But Hanks and Wright aren’t the only big names in the cast. Also joining them are Paul Bettany, whose most recent work includes A Very British Scandal, playing Vision in the MCU and Uncle Frank; Kelly Reilly, who in addition to playing Beth Dutton on Yellowstone was seen in A Haunting in Venice in 2023; and Michelle Dockery, the Downton Abbey star who also is starring in the BBC series This Town.
Here plot
Here is based on the 2014 graphic novel Here by Richard McGuire, with Eric Roth and Robert Zemeckis co-writing the screenplay, adding another Forrest Gump connection, as Roth wrote the script for that movie as well.
The story focuses on multiple families and the place they share over the course of many generations, with it detailing the human experiences of love, loss, laughter and life.
Here is the official synopsis of the movie:
"From the reunited director, writer and stars of Forrest Gump, Here is an original film about multiple families and a special place they inhabit. The story travels through generations, capturing the human experience in its purest form. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, screenplay by Eric Roth and Zemeckis and told much in the style of the acclaimed graphic novel by Richard McGuire on which it is based, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright star in a tale of love, loss, laughter and life, all of which happen right Here.
