Plot

In the serene aftermath of a family hunting trip, the Hendersons' journey takes a startling detour when their car collides with an unexpected creature, lurking in the twilight. Initially, they reel in horror, fearing they've struck a man. However, upon closer examination, they discover the hulking figure is not a man but a mythical Bigfoot, a creature whispered about in campfire stories and shrouded in mystery. Believing the creature to be dead, and sensing an unusual opportunity, they decide to take this imposing figure home. The silent, lifeless form in their garage promises a potential windfall, a thought that both excites and unnerves them. Yet, their world drastically shifts when "Harry," as they affectionately name him, awakens. Far from the ferocious beast of legend, Harry reveals himself to be a gentle giant, his nature as tender as it is towering. As the Hendersons grow fond of their unusual houseguest, they grapple with the challenges of concealing a seven-foot secret, their lives morphing into a playful game of hide-and-seek with prying neighbors and the ever-watchful authorities. Amidst their misadventures, they must also shield Harry from a relentless Sasquatch hunter, a man whose life's ambition is to capture a Bigfoot at any cost. The Hendersons soon find that their biggest fear is no longer the creature in their house, but the world that threatens his safety. Embark on a heartwarming journey with the Henderson family as they navigate this uncharted territory, juggling the perils of secrecy, the bonds of friendship, and the undeniable charm of their friendly giant, Harry.
