THE PLOT THUS FAR
After being wrongly accused of a crime, James “Grizzly” Adams (DAN HAGGERTY, in the TV role he made famous) finds refuge in the wilderness and companionship in Ben, a grizzly bear he raised from a cub. Years later, when Adams learns that his young daughter is in trouble, he returns to civilization and is captured by Frank Briggs (CHUCK CONNORS, The Rifleman), a corrupt man determined to see Adams pay for the alleged crime. Set on clearing his name, Adams seeks support from a local woman, Kate Brady (KIM DARBY, True Grit), and his old friend, Ben, to bring to seek justice against those framing him. Loaded with action, adventure and heart, THE CAPTURE OF GRIZZLY ADAMS is all-American, Dove Family-Approved entertainment.
WHAT WE THOUGHT
“The Capture of Grizzly Adams” was the endgame of the eight year run of Grizzly Adams. Bouncing between a cult favorite TV series and a theatrical movie, Dan Haggerty did his best with the material. However, I only watched to see what the bear was going to do next. While never quite ending anything, Grizzly Adams undertakes another adventure to clear his name. Everyone has a good life and the original Mattie Ross shows up for support. You’ve got to love that.
The DVD comes with no special features. The A/V Quality is strong with a supportive transfer and a Dolby audio track. The Dolby track doesn’t get much back channel action outside of the few major action scenes. In the end, I’d recommend a purchase to fans.
