The Iron Giant (1999)
Movie
Released
A boy's friendship with an enormous robot makes a question about programming easy to feel: must a being become what others expect it to be? Brad Bird balances the giant's comic awkwardness with adults whose fear could make their predictions come true. Its Cold War setting gives the friendship pressure, while the robot's growing capacity to choose supplies the heart.
