In Giant, a Texas cattle baron, his strong-willed wife, and a rebellious ranch hand clash across decades as oil transforms their land—and their lives. Sweeping from dusty pastures to opulent mansions, the story exposes buried tensions of race, power, and pride in the Lone Star State. This epic saga simmers with passion, ambition, and the high cost of empire.
