The Amazing Colossal Man is the story of a U.S. Army officer, caught in a plutonium bomb blast, who suffers the effect of the radiation, loses all of his hair, grows to 60-feet in height and goes insane. He goes on a rampage in Las Vegas and is finally killed by the army at Boulder Dam. This French version takes liberty with the storyline and places the colossus in New York City.
