Overview

Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home (there could be some money in this). As you guessed, it isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gentle, earnest film about a family learning to love an unexpected houseguest. It's the kind of movie that finds profound warmth in the clash between human assumptions and gentle-hearted reality.
