Bick Benedict, a rancher from Texas travels to Virginia to seal a commercial transaction. He meets Leslie, girl full of temperament and charm. Soon they get married and young couple moves to family ranch. Completely different living conditions, the heat, the cattle, the different customs and the bossy sister-in-law Bick - all this makes it difficult for Leslie to adapt to life in Texas. She meets a young farmer, Jett, who on his piece of land searches for oil and soon develops feelings towards Leslie. But the film is primarily a story about the socio-economic changes that occurred in the southern United States in the first half of the 20th century. It shows the changes that were result of the discovery of oil. And against this background we see the history of Benedicts, the young couple, their children and family.
Good script, great acting, beautiful scener of Texas, great music. This is the last movie of James Dean. "Giant" was nominated in 9 categories for an Oscar, but in the end got only one award. It was put on the list of films that have built cultural heritage of United States.
