Sophie is a lonely little girl until the 10-year-old meets the BFG, short for Big Friendly Giant. Though he looks rather startling, he is an extremely gentle soul who is smaller than his fellow giants. His chief distinguishing characteristic is his refusal to eat children, which are a popular delicacy among his brethren. The giant, who spends his nights filling children's heads with fantastical and beautiful dreams, whisks Sophie off on a marvelous and dangerous adventure. With her help, he hopes to convince the Queen of England to outlaw the vicious kid-eating giants from the country once and for all.

Need to know that Roald Dahl's The BFG is a delightful fantasy about a girl named Sophie who makes friends with a Big Friendly Giant.

Big Friendly Giant Play
Sophie (newcomer Ruby Barnhill) is the heroine of 'The BFG,' Steven Spielberg's film of Roald Dahl's novel. It's about a London orphan who gets kidnapped by The Big Friendly Giant, or BFG (Mark Rylance, in the first motion-capture performance to equal Andy Serkis' best) and whisked away to the land of the giants. The BFG is indeed friendly—befuddled and a bit sad, but nice. But there are other giants here. They're scary, stupid bullies, and so big that they tower over the BFG the way he towers over Sophie. They love to eat people, whom they call 'human beans,' or simply 'beans.' When Sophie hides from the bigger giants and they clomp around looking for her, the first thing the BFG does is find Sophie's glasses and hide them in his pocket. He does it so that the bigger giants won't see them and know for sure that he's hiding a child, but there's a more basic motivation: to prevent them from getting crushed. 'Do you have my glasses?' she asks him late in the film, during another action scene. 'Of course,' he says.
