Mighty Joe Young is a American epic adventure film based on the film of the same name about a giant mountain gorilla brought to a wildlife preserve in Los Angeles by a young woman who raised him, and a zoologist , to protect him from the threat of poachers until one seeks Joe out in order to take his revenge. Creature suit actor John Alexander plays the title character. In this version, the ape is much larger than in the original. As a child, Jill Young and her mother, Ruth Young, a primatologist , observe and study mountain gorillas in the Pangani Mountains in Central Africa, including an infant gorilla whom Jill names Joe and his mother. One evening, a group of poachers led by Andrei Strasser storm the mountains and Kweli, Ruth's friend, alerts her to the men as she is putting Jill to bed. Ruth heads into the mountains, and Jill follows shortly afterward. Before Ruth dies, she has Jill promise to protect Joe. Twelve years later, Joe has now grown to a height of 15 feet 4. As a result, other gorillas will not accept him and he is still vulnerable to poachers. Gregg O'Hara, a wildlife refuge director working at an animal conservatory in Los Angeles convinces Jill that they would be safer if they relocated there. At the conservatory, the trio win the hearts of the refuge staff, who put Jill in charge of Joe. Jill meets Strasser, who now runs a fraudulent animal preserve in Botswana , while secretly selling animal organs on the black market, and is eager for revenge after seeing Joe featured on a news report. At first, Jill does not recognize him, since his right hand is concealed in his coat pocket. Strasser attempts to convince Jill that Joe would be better off in his wildlife refuge back in Africa. During a gala, Strasser's henchman Garth uses a poacher's noisemaker to scare Joe into a frenzy.
