Tom Hanks is Mr. Rogers in the First Trailer for "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood"

Two time Oscar winner Tom Hanks takes on the role of beloved children’s television icon Fred Rogers in a new biopic from Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer (Emmy winner Matthew Rhys) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency from America’s most beloved neighbor.
