Big [Back To The 80s]

Running time: 104 mins

What would you do if your wish to grow up came true overnight? In Big, 12-year-old Josh Baskin wakes up in the body of an adult (played by Tom Hanks in a star-making role), catapulting him into the chaotic world of grown-up responsibilities, toy companies, and awkward romance. Hanks? performance was so iconic it earned him his first-ever Academy Award nomination.

A perfect blend of heart and humour, Big became one of the decade?s most beloved comedies and gave us that unforgettable piano scene in FAO Schwarz. Part of our Back to the 80?s Film Festival, Big captures the magic and mischief of childhood dreams ? and reminds us why the 80s were the golden age of high-concept charm.
