Scientist and idealist Robert Foxworth is hired by the EPA to check up on a paper mill in Maine. He finds giant fish in the lakes and a mutant bear eating unsuspecting campers. Mercury from the mill is to blame and the lumber company tries to cover it up. Talia Shire is his wife, who also happens to be pregnant and is worried her baby might be a mutant too, since she ate some of the giant fish. They all get chased by the mutant bear to a lake where some die and some survive. The attack scenes are bloody, including a memorable scene with a sleeping bag, but it's hard to take a man in a bear suit as a serious threat.
