June 5, 1987
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.

Yeti

The film shows a classic Snow man: tall humanoid creature with large feet and thick brown fur, which covered the whole body. He lives in the forest, feeds mainly on plant food and fish.

Yeti good-natured and shows the beginnings of mind. He quickly becomes attached to people, try to copy their behavior. Dead animals, which they seem to be stuffed in the home of the Hendersons, he buries, as well as a mink shawl and meat products. Bigfoot is clearly trainable, understand simple the request addressed to him and in the end of the movie even says one word ("okay").

In the last frame, we see that Harry is not the only Yeti in the woods when he goes out, followed by two more adults and one child.
