Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and jaded journalist Tom Junod (played by Emmy winner Matthew Rhys). Assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, writer Junod manages to overcome his skepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency from America’s most beloved neighbor.


Marielle Heller directs from a script by Micah Fitzerman-Blue and Noah Harpster for SONY Pictures. Susan Kelechi Watson and Chris Copper also star.

Check out the trailer for “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” which opens in theaters Thanksgiving 2019.
