Giant

Set in Texas from the 1920's to the 1950's, Giant tells the story of Jordan "Bick" Benedict, his extended family, their massive ranch and cattle business, and the transition of Texas from ranching to oil. Traditions are disrupted when Bick marries outspoken Virginia socialite Leslie Lynnton and brings her home to Texas. Leslie resists the enduring bigotry and economic injustice that underlies the massive fortunes of the Benedicts and other Texas families, and becomes embroiled in the tragic feud between her husband and a cast-off ranch hand, Jett Rink, whose small inheritance of land yields a massive oil strike.
