The Iron Giant is a 1999 animated film directed by Brad Bird for Warner Bros., loosely based on Ted Hughes's novel The Iron Man, set during the Cold War and following a young boy's friendship with a giant robot that falls to Earth and is hunted by a paranoid government agent. The film underperformed commercially on its original release, largely attributed to a limited marketing campaign, but was reappraised by critics in the years afterward and became a widely cited cult classic. The Iron Giant is widely regarded as one of the most critically acclaimed American animated films of its decade despite its initial box-office failure.
