The film begins with Jordan "Bick" Benedict, played by Hudson, arriving at [[Ardmore, Maryland]], to purchase a stallion from the Lynnton family. The first part of the picture was actually shot in [[Albemarle County]], [[Virginia]], and used the [[Keswick, Virginia]], railroad station as the Ardmore railway depot.<ref>{{cite news|last=Maurer|first=David|title=Giant effort to make it in movies|url=http://www2.dailyprogress.com/lifestyles/cdp-lifestyles/2008/may/11/giant_effort_to_make_it_in_movies-ar-79181/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130121123030/http://www2.dailyprogress.com/lifestyles/cdp-lifestyles/2008/may/11/giant_effort_to_make_it_in_movies-ar-79181/|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 21, 2013|newspaper=Daily Progress|access-date=August 20, 2012}}</ref> 
Much of the subsequent film, depicting "Reata", the Benedict ranch, was shot in and around the town of [[Marfa, Texas]], and the remote, dry plains found nearby, with interiors filmed at the Warner Bros. studios in [[Burbank, California]].<ref name="Moss2015">{{cite book|author=Marilyn Ann Moss|title=Giant: George Stevens, a Life on Film|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iPEhCJbul9QC&pg=PA217|date=August 4, 2015|publisher=Terrace Books, University of Wisconsin Press|isbn=978-0-299-20433-4|page=217}}</ref> The "Jett Rink Day" parade and airport festivities were filmed at the [[Bob Hope Airport|Burbank Airport]].
