October, 1957. Nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes (Eli Marienthal) lives in Rockwell, Maine with his mother Annie (Jennifer Aniston). Hearing stories of a UFO that crashed into the sea, Hogarth finds a massive, metal-eating robot (Vin Diesel) with an insatiable curiosity and equally insatiable appetite. But the alien's presence unleashes a wave of Cold War paranoia that threatens to engulf Rockwell unless Hogarth and his 50-foot friend can stop it.
Based on the book, The Iron Giant by Ted Hughes, this classic Brad Bird animation was initially overlooked upon its release in 1999 but has since been regarded as a beloved animation about humanity, awe and compassion.
