What is Tom Hanks’ movie Here about?
So, if Here is not in any way, shape, or form related to Forrest Gump plot-wise, what is it about?
Well, ambitiously, Here takes place over multiple millennia and is entirely shot from a single camera angle.

However, the plot primarily follows Richard and Margaret – a couple navigating the highs and lows of life.

- Gwilym Lee of Top End Wedding fame
What is the movie Here based on?

Where can I watch the film Here?
Here is getting released in Australian cinemas on October 31, 2024.
After its theatrical release, Here will presumably become available on a streaming platform; watch this space.
