The BFG

The BFG

Sophie, a 10-year-old girl living in a London orphanage, is often awake at the "witching hour". One night, she sees an elderly giant outside her window, who captures her and takes her to his home in Giant Country. He explains that he cannot allow Sophie to return to her world and reveal the existence of giants. If she ventures out alone, she may be eaten by the nine much larger giants. In his workshop of dreams, the giant fashions a nightmare to convince the sleeping Sophie to stay with him in safety. The Fleshlumpeater, the infantile leader of the man-eating giants, arrives and smells Sophie, but the smaller giant convinces him to leave. Sophie persuades the friendly giant to take her to visit Dream Country. They accidentally awaken the Bloodbottler, the Fleshlumpeater’s more cunning second-in-command, and the other giants, who bully the friendly giant. A thunderstorm drives the man-eating giants into their cave, but the Fleshlumpeater and the Bloodbottler find Sophie's dropped blanket.
