Pollution creates a mutant bear and sends a wilderness investigation into spectacularly unconvincing territory. The environmental message is sincere, but the creature's rubbery appearance and outrageous attacks make the warning far harder to deliver with a straight face.

Synopsis and movie facts
When a dispute occurs between a logging operation and a nearby Native American tribe, Dr. Robert Verne and his wife, Maggie, are sent in to mediate. Chief John Hawks insists the loggers are poisoning the water supply, and, though company man Isley denies it, the Vernes can't ignore the strangely mutated wildlife roaming the woods. Robert captures a bear cub for testing and soon finds himself the target of an angry mutant grizzly.
