Hogarth Hughes is an intelligent young boy with a love of exploring. One day, his adventurous nature leads him to discover a colossal iron giant living in the forest having fallen from space. The robot appears to have the understanding of a child and thus finds himself vulnerable to the dangers of the earth and oblivious to his fate should the government find out about him. When Hogarth realises this and that the iron giant just wants to be his friend, he does everything within his power to keep him safe, even if that means lying to the government agents and army officials who come sniffing around for information. Hogarth is just 9-years-old, but he finds himself having to explain the way the world works to this confused creature, including mortality, sacrifice and the rules of right and wrong.

Newly re-mastered and featuring scenes not shown in the cinematic screening, this new edition of the 1999 film 'The Iron Giant' will hit theaters for a limited time. The award-winning animated movie was directed by the Oscar winning Brad Bird ('The Incredibles', 'Ratatouille', 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol') and co-written by Tim McCanlies, and it was based on the popular 1968 novel 'The Iron Man' by Ted Hughes.
