The Iron Giant

''[We hear a sputnik beeping as we see the standard WB shield zooming in from the darkness and into the red looney tunes rings. The banner appears around the shield with the words "FEATURE ANIMATION", and the shield comes to a stop. The byline "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" fades in afterwards, and the logo darkens as it fades away as the sputnik beeping sounds begins to disappear to silence. "WARNER BROS. presents" fades in on-screen for a few second and fades out and the film's title fades in and it zooms in slowly and then rapidly towards the viewer.]''

''[Then it cuts to space, the Sputnik orbits from the distance to the right and to the left towards the viewer as the camera pans to reveal the planet Earth and the sunrise. "EARTH 1957" fades in below, and fades out afterwards. The storm is brewing around the side of North America, the Sputnik orbits away and the camera pans past the moon and we see a bright dot in the distance. It zooms in rapidly past the viewer to reveal itself as a comet and the camera pans back to planet Earth where the comet is heading towards the eye of the storm. The camera zooms in towards the storm, and the flash transitions the scene to the an ocean waving rapidly. "SOMEWHERE OFF THE COAST OF MAINE" appears below, and fades out as a boat appears in the ocean.]''


 * Earl Stutz: Mayday! Mayday! [the scene changes to Earl piloting his boat] This is the fishing ship Annabelle. I've lost my bearings! We're floundering and taking on water! Mayday! Mayday!

''[An enormous wave smashes against the bow of the ship, throwing everyone in the cabin off balance. A glass shatters. The captain enters, the two lock eyes: it looks bad.]''


 * Captain: What is your position?


 * Helmsman: [grim] I don't know.


 * Captain: If you don't know where we are then you don't know where we're going! You could be running us right there into the rocks!


 * Earl Stutz: [gasps] What's that? The radio voice.

[Then a voice breaks through the static on the radio.]


 * Voice on the radio: Coast Guard Portland Station to Annabelle. Do you read me?

''[As the mate starts to answer, lightning strikes the huge mast. It crashes through the pilothouse window, smashing the radio. Glass, radio parts fly. The captain's shoulders slump: now they're done for.]''


 * Captain: It is dark in here.


 * Sailor #1: It glowing dark.
