I remember how much I loved this movie! It was a great movie obviously meant for families and or children. The story involves a family (with John Lithgow playing the father) going out into the woods for some family fun but then while driving back dad accidentally hits a big beast with his station wagon. They're not sure if they killed whatever it was and don't know what they hit, so they check it out and it turns out to be a real life Bigfoot.
After he turns out to still be alive they nurse the Bigfoot back to health and name him Harry, but at first Dad only sees the possible fortune they could make selling Harry. Harry doesn't help his own cause by destroying a lot of stuff in the house, eating their plants etc. Professional Bigfoot hunters become involved and the family has to decide whether to keep Harry or sell him or help him get back to freedom.
