Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox film

Шаблон:Italic title Claws is a 1977 U.S. horror-thriller film. Released soon after the highly successful Jaws, Claws attempted to translate the man-meets-deadly-animal theme to Alaska.

Plot summary

Шаблон:Hook A mature male grizzly bear living Alaskan mountains is stalked and wounded — but not killed — by poachers. The bear then goes to war on humans. Casualties include a logger, campers, hikers, hunters, a juvenile Boy Scout, and the local sheriff. With the backing of Alaska Forest Commissioner Ben Jones, master hunter Jason Monroe must find and kill the deadly animal. He is aided by Native Alaskan Henry, and is challenged by romantic rival Howard.
