Sony pictures has given Apple TV plus the worldwide right to stream Tom Hanks World War II drama "Greyhound."
Apple TV plus announced the deal on Tuesday. The streaming service did not disclose when it will release "Greyhound."
Sony had originally scheduled "Greyhound" to be theatrically released in the US on June 12 but the release was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "Greyhound" is set in the early days of World War II as an international convoy of 37 Allied ships, led by Hanks' Capt. Ernest Krause, crosses the treacherous North Atlantic while being hotly pursued by wolf packs of Nazi submarines.

Sony also released the first trailer for "Greyhound" in early March, opening with Hanks in prayer and about to set sail. He then reveals to his crew that this is his first crossing of the Atlantic. The crew also finds out they are entering territory where plane cover cannot reach them for five full days. The ship, which is operating under the code name "Greyhound," manages to destroy a Nazi sub, setting off a celebration and instilling the crew the confidence in the captain.
"What you did yesterday got us here today," one of the crew tells Hanks.
Stephen Graham, Rob Morgan and Elisabeth Shue co-star in the film along with Hanks. Gary Goetzman produced the film. "Greyhound" is based on C.S. Forester's novel "The Good Shepherd."
