News of the World (2020)

[Edgy MD]

Grizzled Texas Civil War veteran makes his living going from town to town and reading the news from far-off places to the hardscrabble folk trying to rebuild their lives in the war's aftermath. On the road between Wichita Falls and Dallas, he finds a lost girl. After sussing out her backstory, he reluctantly becomes her protector as he tries to unite her with her only living kin, as together they brave the hard roads of a rough country in a mostly lawless time.

Features an alarming paucity of Queen music.

Was trying to rewatch some Hanks stuff recently and see some I hadn't seen, but this one wasn't on the radar. I guess I missed a lot of stuff in 2020.
