“It came from outer space!”
In 1957 Rockwell, Maine, a colossal metallic entity forms an improbable bond with a nine-year-old boy, challenging the town's Cold War anxieties and prejudices. This silent mechanical sentinel learns to embrace empathy and courage, saving lives not just physically but from the specters of fear and ignorance that plague the human heart.
