Big is a fantasy comedy film directed by Penny Marshall and starring Tom Hanks as Josh Baskin, a young boy who mysteriously wakes up in the body of an adult and must navigate the challenges of adulthood while still thinking and feeling like a child. The film combines elements of fantasy and comedy to explore themes of growing up, identity, and the contrast between childhood innocence and adult responsibility.

The screenplay is considered significant in the film’s development and legacy as it captures the narrative structure and character dynamics that helped define one of the most notable American comedies of the late 1980s. The role of Josh Baskin became a breakthrough performance for Tom Hanks, earning him widespread critical recognition and an Academy Award for Best Actor nomination, which contributed to establishing him as one of the leading actors in Hollywood.

Did you know?

Our scripts come directly from the USA. They are easy to recognize because they have the standard U.S. paper size. Typically, people use A4-sized paper (297mm in height) to make fan copies of scripts. This paper size is not used in the United States; they use letter-sized paper (279mm in height). This is noticeable because this scripts usually have black lines at the top and bottom, showing that the original paper size used to copy (any American script) is smaller than A4.

Also, our scripts have been preserved under the strictest climate control standards in HVAC-R conditions, both during storage and throughout the packaging process. As a result, a label is applied after sealing them, as shown in the photos. They are bound in the same way that vault copies of scripts are preserved, without any oxidizable materials that could damage the paper. They are carefully packed in bubble wrap and placed in a cardboard box to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition.
