Summary
A high-concept comedy film that excels in direction and pacing but struggles with acting and music. In the small town of Rockwell, Maine in October 1957, a giant metal machine befriends a nine-year-old boy and ultimately finds its humanity by unselfishly saving people from their own fears and prejudices.
