Western drama directed and co-written by Paul Greengrass. The story follows Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Tom Hanks), a widowed veteran, who travels town to town announcing the news of the world to the local population. In Texas, he crosses paths with an orphan girl, Johanna (Helena Zengel), who was taken in by the Kiowa people and raised as one of their own, but must now reluctantly return to her aunt and uncle. Kidd agrees to deliver Johanna to her family and they embark on a dangerous journey through the wilderness as they search for a place that either can call home.
