An orphan little girl befriends a benevolent giant who takes her to Giant Country, where they attempt to stop the man-eating giants that are invading the human world.
Fourth family/children's feature film directed Steven Spielberg following Hook (1991), The Adventures of Tintin (2011), and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). It's Spielberg's twelfth if one counts War of the Worlds (2005), his two Jurassic Park movies, and his four Indiana Jones movies.
Sophie:
Why did you take me?
The BFG:
Because I hears your lonely heart, in all the secret whisperings of the world.
[French version only] The tags on the dream bottles are translated in French. However, after Sophie comes back to Giant Country, we see a close-up shot of the bottles with French dream titles and a couple of shots later, the titles seen in the background are in English.
