About this movie

Can a rock bigger than a house weighing 340 tons be art? World famous artist Michael Heizer believes so. He's spent a decade working out how to get a giant stone into an art museum. It's going to require a trip of 105 miles along roads that just weren't designed to carry stuff this big. Overcoming the hurdles will cost $10M, and everyone thinks he can't do it. We follow the journey from conception to the rock's final home in the LA Art Museum.
