In the small town of Rockwell, Maine in October 1957, a giant metal machine befriends a nine-year-old boy and ultimately finds its humanity by unselfishly saving people from their own fears and prejudices.
Editor's Verdict
"The Iron Giant is not a Christmas movie. The setting is explicitly October, the plot revolves around Cold War fears and the giant's self-discovery, and there is virtually no Christmas iconography or thematic connection to the holiday."
