The Giant of Thunder Mountain is a 1991 drama film starring Richard Kiel (The Spy Who Loved Me) and Noley Thornton (Beverley Hills, 90210).
Two brothers, Tommy (Chance Michael Corbitt) and Ben (Ryan Todd) are daring to climb Thunder Mountain, where it is said a giant lives.
Suddenly, the giant returns and finds the boys hiding under a table, but they escape with one of the wooden figures and go back to town.
The next morning, they set out with another boy, Zeke MacGruder (Daniel Pipoly) who doubts Tommy and Ben have seen the giant.
Tommy and Ben's younger sister, Amy (Noley Thornton) follows them, but almost gets caught in a bear trap.
Zeke excuses himself and runs away, but Amy steps out from the woods and introduces herself and her brothers to the giant, Eli Weaver (Richard Kiel).
Amy discovers Tommy and Ben looking at the gold nuggets and they allow her to have one of them with the promise she won't tell their mother.
Hezekiah Crow's circus parades through Weaverton, hosted by Zeke's father, Mr. MacGruder (Ed Williams).
Amy admires a beautiful doll at a circus booth, and Eli throws balls to knock down pins.
The booth is run by one of Hezekiah's sons (William Sanderson), who puts a rod through the pins so they can't be knocked over.
Amy is disappointed, and Eli grabs hold of the carnival man and lifts him in the air and then drops him on the ground.
Hearing the approach of a posse, they escape out a window in the back of the cabin, leaving Tommy lying unconscious on the floor.
He hides under a pile of leaves and surprises one of the men of the posse who has caught his leg in his own bear trap.
The distributors were Castle Hill Productions and Plaza Entertainment, with special effects by FX West.
