It came from outer space!
Something huge is on the horizon. Hogarth Hughes just rescued an enormous robot that fell from the stars to Earth. Now young Hogarth has one very big friend and an even bigger problem: how do you keep a 50-foot-tall, steel-eating (junkyard cars are especially tasty) giant a secret?
It’s even harder when a nosey government agent arrives in town to hunt down the “alien invader” and the combined land, sea and air might of the U.S. military is sent to demolish the giant. The result: an incredible adventure that’s part metal, part magic, all heart.

The Iron Giant is funny and touching. Then there is humour, action and
nostalgia. What a great movie for the family. We as a family have seen
it several times and we’ve enjoyed it every time!
Really enjoyed watching this movie. Definitely funny and entertaining.
Our daughter loved this movie and felt very sorry for the poor giant. This movie is colourful, fun and suspenseful and funny.
The script is funny without resorting to cheap laughs. The characters
are well rounded. The voice talents are ideal, from the Giant’s rumble
to Hogarth’s wide-eyed wonder . Anyone over the age of 8 will love this
film.
My wife loves Vin Diesel’s movies and she thought this was great time out for her just to hear his voice.
Nice story – often overlooked —
One for the whole family … And, cool to know that the voice of the robot was done by Vin Diesel!
Son loved this movie – and has been asking to see it again.
