One day, a boy named Hogart meets an iron giant which has accidently arrived on Earth from space. When Hogarth first sees the iron giant, he is frightened, but he saves the giant's life by switching off the electric wire when the iron giant gets tangled up in the line.
When Hogarth comes back to town, he is so excited that he met the iron giant. However no one believes his story, not even his mother. Even so, Hogarth enters the forest to find the iron giant again. They soon become good friends. However, the iron giant is massive so Hogarth needs another friend who can help them. So Hogarts asks Dean at the scrap yard for help, and they also become friends.
They have a good time while the iron giant hides at Dean's scrap yard. Hogart teaches the iron giant that a 'Gun' is a bad thing which can kill someone; 'Superman' is a good hero who saves people so u can be Superman. The iron giant gets shocked about dying and reacts strongly when he sees the rifles that kills a deer.
Meanwhile, some goverment detective guy named Manseley appears in town to discover the truth about the iron-giant gossip. Manseley is doubtful about what Hogarth is saying, and how he is acting, so he follows Hogarth around. Sooner or later, Manseley finds the iron giant and brings the goverment army to attack him.
The iron giant becames a scary weapon when he thinks the army has killed Hogarth, but the truth is that he is alive. At the end of the movie, the iron giant saves the people from a nuclear missile by sacrificing himself.
I was touched and impressed at how the filmmaker focuses on a message about friendship with a robot. In addition, as a student who is interested film scoring, it is interesting how the music is used along with the animation. In this movie, they put proper orchestration, using classical instruments so that the audience can more easily focus on the movie.
The Iron Giant is funny, excellent, and a good lesson.
