Cry Wilderness on AllMovie

A young boy from Los Angeles spends a remarkable summer in the northern California wilds with his father, a forest ranger. While there, the youth meets a real live sasquatch (Bigfoot to the uninitiated). The two become friends. Eventually the youngster returns to LA in the Fall. This adventure follows what happens when he has a disturbing dream. In the vision, the sasquatch warns him that his father is in trouble. Believing this, the lad hastily hitchhikes back to the woods. He finds his father, an avaricious Indian and a rapacious mercenary armed to the teeth. They claim that they are after an escaped circus tiger, but unbeknownst to them, they are really tracking the mythical giant ape. Now the boy must use all his ingenuity to save his pal and his dad from danger.
