Synopsis:

While vacationing in the Pacific Northwest, the Henderson clan's dad George (John Lithgow), mom Nancy (Melinda Dillon), daughter Sarah (Margaret Langrick) and son Ernie (Joshua Rudroy) accidentally run over a strange animal with their car, and when they get out to see what it is, they find the seemingly dead body of a hairy Bigfoot-type monster (Kevin Peter Hall). Believing that the creature is a grizzly bear, the Hendersons take it home, planning to stuff the beast and put it on display in their living room. Predictably, the hirsute monster revives and is adopted by the family as a pet.

Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal on 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. In their attempts to keep Harry a secret, the Henderson's have to hide him from the authorities and a man, who has made it his goal in life, to catch a 'bigfoot'.

When an average American family meets a legendary creature the fur is sure to fly. After John Lithgow's car accidentally hits 'Harry', his life is turned upside down when he makes friends with a real-life Bigfoot. It's a race against time to get Harry back to his natural environment in this hilarious comedy for the entire family. Incidentally, Harry won the Oscar for his outstanding make-up at the 1988 Academy Awards. Harry's good friend Rick Baker picked up the statuette on his behalf!
