Bigger than Life (1956) follows the journey of Ed Avery, portrayed by James Mason, a dedicated schoolteacher in a small town during the 1950s. Struggling with financial strain and a severe illness, Avery discovers a miraculous experimental medication that alleviates his pain and seemingly liberates him from his previous limitations. However, the drug's effects are not entirely beneficial; it transforms Avery from a mild-mannered, compliant individual into a figure of excessive behavior and unchecked will, leading to a dramatic and unsettling transformation.
