The Big Trees is a 1952 American lumberjack Western film starring Kirk Douglas and directed by Felix E. Feist.

[3][better source needed] Douglas plays a greedy timber baron who seeks to exploit the sequoia forest, while facing the protest of the Quaker colonists.

In 1900, lumberman Jim Fallon (Kirk Douglas) greedily eyes the big redwood trees in the virgin region of northern California.

[2] The film was made with the cooperation of the Hammond and Carlotta Lumber companies,[2] and was shot at locations in Humboldt County, California.

The Big Trees uses the long shot from Valley of the Giants of Ox (Alan Hale Sr.) sliding down a cable to have “Tiny” accomplish the same feat in this picture.
