Iron Giant, The (U) (2000)
Director: Brad Bird
Starring: Vin Diesel, Harry Conneck Jr., Jennifer Aniston
The film is based on The Iron Man - a fable about the environment, peace and the continuity of life - that Ted Hughes first told his children and then published in 1968. Its hero, Hogarth, a farmer's son, befriends a gigantic metal-eating robot that threatens the countryside. When a dragon the size of Australia descends from outer space to destroy the world, this iron creature saves mankind and, quite literally, brings harmony to the universe.-Guardian. (83Mins)
