Director Robert Zemeckis’ Here depicts the lives of a wide cast of characters as they appear on a single piece of land throughout the story. Based on the comic book of the same name by Richard McGuire Here follows a story that spans centuries of American history. Despite the appealing concept, critics’ criticisms of 2024 Here have skewed negative despite boasting an impressive cast.
With Tom Hanks leading the cast of the 2024 film Here it certainly carries a lot of star power. However, he’s hardly the only recognizable name in the cast. Because the film covers multiple periods in history, it cannot rely solely on Hanks and also relies heavily on the performances of a long list of stars, each of whom plays a character associated in some way with the earth they move. Here it is history.
