Plot
In the captivating comedy-drama, My Giant (1998), a downbeat movie agent, Sammy (Billy Crystal), sees his career crashing when he journeys to a Romanian film set only to be jettisoned by his sole client, his erstwhile paperboy, now a budding actor. Shattered and aimless, Sammy traverses the scenic Romanian countryside, his journey culminating in a near-fatal accident when his car plunges into a tranquil pond.
As death looms, a pair of enormous hands unexpectedly snatch him from the jaws of doom. Awakening in a serene monastery, Sammy discovers his savior to be a gentle, towering 7-1/2' giant, Max (played by NBA star Gheorghe Mureșan). A tantalizing vision of riches and renewed success dances before Sammy's eyes. He concocts a scheme to bring Max to America and catapult him into the spotlight of Hollywood. Yet, Max, a simple soul, yearns only to visit Gallup to reconnect with a childhood love.
In a twist of fate, Sammy secures a minor role for Max in the Romanian movie, enough to earn them a ticket to America. From there, the Las Vegas lights beckon where, with a dash of cunning, Sammy persuades action star, Steven Seagal (appearing as himself), to cast Max in an upcoming blockbuster. Thus, begins an unlikely journey of a giant and a man on the verge of despair, their lives intertwined in a tale of ambition, friendship, and the pursuit of dreams.
