Based on a true story, Sergeant Peter King (Kenneth Cranham) of the Army Dental Corps, too old to fight, and Private Leslie Cuthbertson (Leo Bill), a trainee dental mechanic in the Corps, are thrown together by their passionate desire to see active service. Armed with just two revolvers and a dozen grenades, King persuades Cuthbertson to join him on a mission to occupied France.<br /> <br /> In a letter to Winston Churchill, King explains their intention to invade France and fight the Germans. After a number of failed attempts, they finally arrive by boat and stumble across a German radar station. They succeed in blowing up what they believe to be the main Operations Room, but are soon forced to make their escape as the entire compound unexpectedly erupts with gunfire and explosions. After narrow escapes from the Germans and a stray mine in the Channel, the two men are picked up at sea and interrogated as spies.<br /> <br /> Identified as deserters, they are returned to their barracks to be court martialled. At the eleventh hour King and Cuthbertson are saved by the arrival of Major Merton (Derek Jacobi), Churchill's Chief Intelligence Advisor. Their letter has been received in Whitehall and Merton corroborates their heroic story. Exonerated of lying, King and Cuthbertson are nevertheless reprimanded by the Court for their behaviour, but receive an invitation to tea with the Prime Minister should they ever be in Whitehall.

With extraordinary special effects and animatronics from Jim Henson's Creature Shop (Lara Croft 2, Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, Doctor Doolittle, 101 Dalmations), and in the tradition of E.T the Extra-Terrestrial and Free Willy, MEE-SHEE: The Water Giant is the ultimate family adventure movie! <br />  <br /> After a helicopter crash in a remote Canadian lake, Sean Cambell (Bruce Greenwood - I, Robot, Thirteen Days), an oil company trouble-shooter is called in with his high-tech mini-submarine to help retrieve a unique drill head. For his disappointed ten-year-old son Mac, the news means postponing yet another Florida vacation with his father. But when they arrive at Mrs Coogan's (Phyllida Law - Emma, Time Machine) guesthouse, Mac soon learns of a legendary creature that supposedly lives in the lake! Utterly intrigued, Mac teams up with a cute little Native-American girl called Pawnee and they go in search of the monster, urged on by the sight of a woman known as 'Crazy Norma' (Rena Owen - The Crow: Wicked Prayer, Once Were Warriors) - throwing whole salmon into the water to 'feed the creature'.<br />  <br /> When Mac is trekking through the woods by the lake, he slips and falls in to the water and nearly drowns. Amazingly, he is rescued by something huge, which buoys him up to the surface. Convinced that it was the creature, Mac locates his cave and finally comes face to face with the huge, frightened water giant, MEE-SHEE! And a very special friendship begins.<br />  <br /> Within days, a rival oil company arrives in an attempt to steal the drill, and soon these money hungry villains realise that the drill is not the only prize from the lake they need to take home with them. Mac must find a way to save his newfound friend, but first he must convince his father that the creature is real, which is not as easy as he'd hoped.<br />  <br /> In a dramatic climax with MEE-SHEE, Mac and his father in grave danger, is there anything else lurking in the lake to come to their rescue? <br />  <br /> MEE-SHEE: The Water Giant is an epic family adventure film in the very finest tradition, combined with some of the most magical special effects ever created!
