In “News of the World,” Helena Zengel’s character, Johanna Leonberger, is left orphaned after her German parents are violently murdered on their farm when she is 4. Taken in and raised by the Kiowa tribe, she is later removed by soldiers, and a traveling veteran, played by Hanks, agrees to bring her to a surviving aunt and uncle.
