My Giant (1998)
Sam Kamin is een welbespraakte, gedreven impresario die het probeert te maken in de harde filmwereld. Geen moeite is hem te veel, zelfs zijn huwelijk offert hij op. Wanneer hij eindelijk een jonge acteur mag vertegenwoordigen die daadwerkelijk een filmrol krijgt, reist hij naar de set in Roemenië. Tot Sams ontzetting wordt hij echter door de knaap ontslagen. Helemaal van streek belandt hij met zijn auto in een Roemeense rivier, maar hij wordt gered door twee mysterieuze reuzenhanden. Terug bij zijn positieven ontdekt Sam dat zijn redder de reus Max Zamphirescu is. Meteen flitsen de dollartekens in zijn ogen en tracht hij de gigant te overhalen om zijn kans te wagen in de filmwereld. Maar Max wil echter enkel naar Amerika reizen om zijn jeugdvriendinnetje Lilliana terug te zien.
