In a small town in 1950s America, curious nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes befriends a 50-foot metal giant that has fallen from the sky. As he tries to keep his gentle new friend hidden and fed on a diet of scrap metal, a suspicious government agent arrives, determined to destroy it. Based on Ted Hughes’s story ‘The Iron Man’, this animated classic is a moving tale of friendship, courage and choosing who you want to be.
