In this animated feature film, set in 1957, a giant mechanical man (voice of Vin Diesel) drops from the sky and lands near a small town in Maine where he is befriended by young Hogarth Hughes (voice of Eli Marienthal). Although Hogarth's neighbors and the U.S. government worry that the robot is a Soviet weapon, by story's end, the message against weapons and war are very clear. The moral is that humans CAN make choices.
