A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood takes place towards the end of the initial PBS run of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. The Americans star Matthew Rhys plays journalist Tim Junod, who was tasked with writing a profile on host Fred Rogers. His piece was published in Esquire in 1998 with the title "Can You Say... Hero?"

While spending time with Rogers in order to write the profile, Junod developed a friendship with his subject, leading to the story that inspired this movie.

Here's Sony's official synopsis for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood:

"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."

Marielle Heller directed A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood with a script from Micah Fitzerman-Blue and Noah Harpster. Hanks and Rhys star in the film, joined by This Is Us standout Susan Kelechi Watson and Chris Cooper.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is set to hit theaters on November 22nd.
