Mighty Joe Young

The baby gorilla left in her care grows up to become a hugely tall and broad specimen by the name of Joe, living in the mountains as a mostly unseen legend amongst the people who live there. Along comes eco-minded emissary Gregg O'Hara (Bill Paxton), who is from a California sanctuary, and who talks jungle girl Jill Young (Charlize Theron) into providing a safe haven for Joe at the Los Angeles facility. The transition is not without discomfort, but everything is aggravated via a conspiracy of poachers to get Joe into their own greedy hands. ??Anthony Pereyra Awards: 1 win & 4 nominations totalBudget: $90,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $50,632,037Soundtrack: Windsong (Written by James Horner and Will Jennings)Ron UnderwoodBill Paxton, Charlize Theron, Rade Serbedzija1998-12-25 (United States)tt0120751
