A government agency wants to destroy an innocent alien giant robot but a young boy decides that he wants to be friends...

Detailed Information

Before going to Pixar to make The Incredibles, Brad Bird co-wrote and directed this fantastic animated film - easily one of the best family films from the 1990's.

An enormous robot has come from deepest space, crash-landed on Earth, and followed eleven-year-old Hogarth Hughes home.

Now, young Hogarth has one big friend and an even bigger problem: How do you keep a secret that 50 feet tall? Especially when a paranoid government agent is on the "alien invader’s" trail, bringing with him the full might of the U.S. military to destroy the giant.

It all adds up to a rousing adventure that's part metal, part magic...and all heart.
