Chimponster

In a compelling tradition of "King Kong" and "The Incredible Hulk", comes a powerful tale of one man's transformation into a hulking gigantic gorilla. Nick Harrison was cursed by his jealous and treacherous brother Jasper, who will stop at nothing to destroy him. Especially after the spacecraft crash accident.

In his monster form, Nick must fight off his brother's creative creatures like: a wolf, a jaguar and a hyena in the woods during Julia's rescue; a giant python in the African Ocean; and a monstrous T-rex dinosaur (which is Jasper himself) during the destruction of Las Vegas. Also, he must escape the US navy army, led by Julia's father General John Tyler, in the wilderness of Africa after he's been captured.

And so he can become a most powerful furry being on Earth as a hero and a beast that comes from within.
