In the small town of Rockwell, Maine in October 1957, a giant metal machine befriends a nine-year-old boy and ultimately finds its humanity by unselfishly saving people from their own fears and prejudices.
Top critics, in their words
While youngsters will enjoy the film on one level, it reaches out to adults on a completely different plane. They will see an allegory about power and politics and the danger of allowing either to run roughshod over humanity.
This is not exactly standard children's fare, but kids (and their parents) should be smitten by its wit and wisdom.
The Iron Giant's theme of fear of the unknown is craftily balanced against the power of innocent imagination.
The Iron Giant is not only the best animated feature to be released this summer, it's the single best film to hit our screens so far this year.
Brad Bird fills the CinemaScope screen with wit and beauty in this modern fairy tale.
