About the film
The legend of Bigfoot really hits home in this classic 1987 film that won an Oscar for Best Make Up. John Lithgow stars as George Henderson who, as he drives his wife and children back to Seattle from a camping trip, hits a sasquatch with the family station wagon. Believing the cryptid to be dead, and seeing the potential fame in providing proof to the world of Bigfoot’s existence, the family decides to strap the creature to their car and return home to notify the press. However, the family soon realizes that the hirsute beast, whom they affectionately dub “Harry”, actually survived the collision and is extremely kind and gentle. As the the Hendersons bring Harry deeper into the family fold, they discover that Harry has a nemesis who is hunting him down, leaving it up to George and his family to protect Harry until he’s able to safely return to his forest home.
