The BFG (2016): cast, story & where to watch

2016 · Film · ★ 6.3

Released in 2016, The BFG is a fantasy, adventure and family film directed by Steven Spielberg, running about 117 minutes. “The world is more giant than you can imagine.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants—rather than the BFG—she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

Who’s in it. The BFG stars Ruby Barnhill as Sophie, Mark Rylance as The BFG, Rebecca Hall as Mary and Jemaine Clement as Fleshlumpeater, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.3/10, The BFG has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response. It went on to earn $195.2M at the box office.
