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.

    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.

    My wife loves Vin Diesel’s movies and she thought this was great time out for her just to hear his voice.

  • Newlynn

    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.

  • Lisagordon

    Our daughter loved this movie and felt very sorry for the poor giant. This movie is colourful, fun and suspenseful and funny.

  • Mrsjimmy

    Really enjoyed watching this movie. Definitely funny and entertaining.

  • Carolina

    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!
