An huge gorilla exhibits endless compassion and courage. In his by birth jungle he cares for and protects an orphaned girl who later brings him to Los Angeles to save him from unpitying poachers. However, in days of yore there, the guy-made confines and threats from a new void of cruel and tight-fisted trophy-hunters cause the otherwise gentle, but misunderstood, savage to absolutely go berserk forbidden. Remake of the criminal and drained master-work.

Not Bad !!!
An enormous gorilla exhibits endless compassion and courage. In his native jungle he cares for and protects an orphaned girl who later brings him to Los Angeles to save him from ruthless poachers.
