Director Brad Bird may best be known for bringing us Pixar's superhero family known as "The Incredibles." But just five years before that, he ushered in another kind of superhero in the form of "The Iron Giant," though it was initially a box office disappointment, despite finding a way right into our hearts. The mysterious robot crash-landed on Earth and ended up befriending a young boy named Hogarth, but he also created a military panic in a small Maine town (making it one of the best movies set there) during the Cold War period of the 1950s, when fear of nuclear weapons was high. When an attack on the giant robot puts Hogarth and his town in danger, the robot sacrifices himself, taking a cue from the classic comic book version of Superman by soaring into the sky to intercept a massive bomb.
