It’s the late Fifties, and nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes lives in Rockwell, Maine, a seemingly idyllic town. Hearing stories of a UFO that crashed into the sea, Hogarth, always on the lookout for aliens, finds a huge, metal-eating robot with an insatiable curiosity and equally insatiable appetite. When the metallic extraterrestrial’s presence unleashes a wave of Cold War paranoia that threatens to engulf Rockwell, only Hogarth and his 50-foot friend can stop it in this heartwarming animated feature.
