I like it!
Um....following current hollywood trends...maybe some seriel killer murder mystery, where the killer turns out to be the statue. About as intellectually involved as anything else I've heard of recently.

Use it to get New York to develop enough psychic good vibes to break into the Manhattan museum of art and allow you to fight a 400-year old sorcerer.

or how about a movie where the Statue of Liberty is walking along the shoreline to discover the giant head of Charlton Heston sticking out of the sand....

How about a super-villain picking it up to crush Superman with?

Or, I know - a super villain could put some sort of super-mutating machine in the torch, and there could be a fight on the head of the statue between the good guys and the bad guys.

France gets so irritated after years of being called cowards for giving advice as good friends should, that they want the statue back.
When that doesn't happen, they trigger the steampunk mechanisms hidden inside and it goes on a rampage before walking back to France.

As a serious suggestion: location of a clue leading to a treasure. (Love my mystery movies)
As a silly suggestion: coming to life and doing the Egyptian Walk.

10,000 years in the future, has been converted into an interstellar ferry for the Sol-Rigel tourist run. Romantic couple meets on the same flight every century. It's the first sci-fi chick flick.

US government sales Naming Rights - "Global Star Communications' Statue of Liberty"
Gets updated - Tablet is replaced with a tablet computer, the crown with a backwards baseball cap, and the torch with a cell phone that Ms. Liberty has to her ear.
Giant "dinosaur killer" asteroid is about to wipe out life on Earth. Turns out that the space aliens that built the pyramids also put an asteroid defense system in the torch (remember the ST:OS with Kirk and the Indians). At last minute, energy beam fires out of torch, destroying the asteroid. And there is much rejoicing.

The only problem I have with "original design" stories is that the restoration has removed the unique galvanic reaction properties that played a part in the complex little understood electronic workings of the weapon.
Now; Maybe the restoration effort itself could have been a way to secretly build one.

A hostile android made of copper-based nanobots is being chased by Our Hero. The hero thinks he's won, until the bad bot runs into Lady Liberty, and his copper nanites convert it into a giant monsterbot, which the Hero must disable just in time!

how about if, just once, they use it as an unimportant thing that is just "there" off in the distance?

OH COME ON NOW! That is just too weird.

That reminds me of a joke from a book about SF movies:how about if, just once, they use it as an unimportant thing that is just "there" off in the distance?
"The only recent SF movie that went to Washington and left the monuments completely intact was Contact."
Order of Kilopi
that's not a joke- it's the truth.

Yes, but it's a funny truth.that's not a joke- it's the truth.

I think a much more likely response would be
"Hey Doubtful Dude have you been tidying up again? where did you put that millenium bug? we could sure use it right now. ah! what the heck things usually fix themselves anyway"

Or astronauts could find a duplicate Statue buried in the crater Tycho. When they dig it up it beams a signal to a truly huge Statue orbiting Jupiter, which turns out to be an advertisement for underarm deodorant.
Order of Kilopi
they don't advertise that stuff any more-- it would be for little blue pills that help cure a disease that didn't have a name until they had a pill for it.

You mean it isn't the Halliburton Statue of Liberty? (Formerly the Enron Statue of Liberty.)
I really hate these companies coming in and plastering their names on things, usually things built with great sums of taxpayers' money. (Though obviously not solely with taxes, otherwise they wouldn't be naming them.)
One instance here in Milwaukee, there used to be a fundraiser called "Al's Run" after Al McGuire, a former basketball coach at Marquette University. Now it's the "Briggs and Stratton/Al's Run". If I were a runner (which I'm not) participating in such a thing, I would put duct tape over the name of the corporate sponsor on my T-shirt! Enough already!
Just think, one day the U. S. capitol building may be called the "Capitol One Building". What's in your wallet? Send it!
