In the movie News of the World, the Texan traveler is Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd, a former Civil War captain played by Tom Hanks. Amidst the harsh environment of the Texas plains, Captain Kidd earns a living by traveling from town to town and reading newspapers to local townspeople who are hungry for news from the outside world.

One day, Captain Kidd comes across a young girl named Johanna Leonberger (played by Helena Zengel), who was abducted years ago during a raid by a Kiowa tribe and raised as one of their own. With her parents killed, Johanna is alone and lost. Captain Kidd takes it upon himself to rescue her and bring her back to her surviving family members, who live over 400 miles away in San Antonio.

Thus, a perilous journey ensues as Captain Kidd and Johanna embark on a dangerous trek through the unforgiving Western landscape. As they face countless challenges such as harsh weather, encounters with outlaws, and treacherous terrain, the unlikely duo bonds and forms a deep connection, despite their language barrier and cultural differences.

Throughout their journey, Captain Kidd teaches Johanna about the world beyond her Kiowa upbringing. He introduces her to the concept of reading, slowly bridging the gap between her Native American heritage and the new world she has been thrust into. Meanwhile, Johanna helps Captain Kidd confront his own demons and find a renewed sense of purpose.

As they traverse the rugged Wild West, news of their journey spreads, reaching individuals who may have ulterior motives and seek to exploit Johanna's situation for their own gain. Captain Kidd must navigate through these treacherous encounters, rely on his resourcefulness as a seasoned traveler, and use every skill he possesses to protect Johanna and ensure her safe return to her family.

News of the World is an emotional and captivating tale of resilience, redemption, and the power of human connection in the face of adversity. It explores themes of cultural identity, the impact of trauma, and the courage it takes to defy the odds in an untamed world.
