World War Bigfoot (2026) Movie Script

1
Granddad,
where's the marshmallow sticks?
Uh, they're in the shed.
Just-- just hang on a second.
I'll get 'em for you.
It's okay. I'll grab them.
Okay.
But-- you--
Grab a flashlight, will ya?
You okay, Mike?
Yeah, I'm okay, Granddad.
Cool.
You know, just pick
a different chord, and then--
and then try it again.
Yeah, but go down and then up.
- Down, down.
- Look what I found.
Here.
Where'd you get that?
I dropped over some boxes
and it fell out.
I haven't seen that in years.
Can I-- can I see it?
Whoa.
This was my dad's.
Your great-granddad.
- So it's old?
- Probably really old.
Yeah. Probably older than me.
- What else you got there?
- A picture and a box.
What's the red cross?
Great-granddad was a medic.
What's a medic?
He's a doctor, right, Granddad?
Yeah, he was a doctor
on the battlefield.
He shot people?
No. Quite the opposite.
He helped people, Mikey.
Do you guys wanna hear
a really cool story
about your old great-granddad?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Okay, come on in.
Okay, very quiet.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
Do you know who Bigfoot is?
- The big hairy guy?
- Yeah!
Yeah, the big hairy guy. Yes.
His name is Bigfoot, Evy.
Bigfoot's a myth.
I was just about your age
when he told me this story,
and I didn't believe it
then either.
Either you tell me what
Bigfoot's footsteps sound like?
Boom, boom, boom.
Okay,
so it's middle of World War II.
What the hell are we doing
out here with no support?
You gonna let us in
on the secret?
Mission, objective,
and all that?
It's classified.
Would be nice to know what
we're getting ourselves into.
You'll all be briefed
when we get to the rendezvous.
Sarge?
Shut up, corporal,
before I shut you up.
Better just to stow it.
I don't like this.
Ambush!
The hell are they doing here?
Ready up, boys.
All right, boys,
let's get ready to move.
Everybody on me.
Shit. Here we go.
Move up!
Forward! Forward!
Move, move!
Left flank!
Watch it, watch it.
Reloading.
Cover me. Cover me.
Shoot those bastards!
You two, move up! Now!
Suppressing fire
on the tree.
Man down, man down!
Shit.
Holy shit.
What...
Hey, hey. Hey!
No! Please.
It's okay. It's okay.
- I'm gonna help you.
- Oh, please.
I'm gonna check your wound,
okay?
I'm bleeding. Badly.
You.
Huh?
It was you. I think.
Just calm down.
You fools.
Hey, I gotta check
your back, okay?
I'm gonna turn you.
The pain!
I'm not ready to die.
One, two, three.
Hey. Hey, wake up. Wake up.
What's your name?
Deiter.
Thanks for not shooting me,
by the way.
You start... killing...
And your--
your eyes.
Scared. Like me.
You can't save me.
We...
should never have come.
These-- these woods...
There's something
in these woods.
Something's out there.
It's-- it's...
big.
Doc!
Ah, fuck.
Why did you bring us out here?
This wasn't supposed to happen.
I knew you were up to something.
You're gonna burn.
Wait till everybody
finds out about this.
I'm telling everybody
at the camp.
Shut up.
I'm unarmed!
Don't shoot. I'm unarmed.
What is that?
It's our fate.
You speak English?
What is it? What's going on?
We need to get out of here.
That's right.
I don't know what this is,
but we gotta
get the hell out of here.
Don't!
Don't shoot! Don't!
Don't shoot!
Hmm?
Whatever it is,
it needs our help.
What the hell is this thing?
I'm gonna help it.
You can shoot me if you want.
Makes no difference to me,
Yankee.
There's more of them out there.
This is their land.
I need to help it.
- I need more bandages.
- I got some.
Here. Take mine.
No, he's not fighting.
He's dying!
Okay, Yankee.
You die first, then.
Hmm?
Go! You! Hands up, now!
No, no, no!
Don't shoot.
What the hell?
What is that thing?
I don't know,
but we have to help it.
Secret mission?
I knew this stank of something.
Did anyone else make it?
Me, Gabriel, and Sarge.
We took down the tank,
but then he...
Doc...
Sarge lost it or something.
I saw him kill--
Jesus Christ!
You're not gonna-- you're
not gonna shoot me, are you?
- We shouldn't even be here.
- No argument from me.
How many more of you
are out here?
Me. Him.
It's mission classified.
I-- I don't-- I don't know.
- Nobody else?
- Yeah.
- You're sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure.
I checked everyone,
and then after last night,
there's-- there's-- there's no
more survivors, I'm sure of it.
Well, you missed one.
Deiter something. It's--
Just over the ridgeline.
But I don't--
I don't understand. I--
I checked everyone. I--
How? How'd he die?
Internal bleeding.
I tried.
I don't understand.
I checked everybody. I--
Well, more men have made it.
We can't assume it's just us.
Yeah, well, if they did...
we're all that's left.
They need help.
We gotta do our job.
Is he breathing?
Hey,
you did everything you could.
I tried to help!
I'm sorry!
What if more come back angry?
I don't know.
They could have at any time.
They didn't.
Maybe they're just not like us.
What do we do with him?
There's no one left.
Yeah, that we know of.
If there are, it's--
it's on us now.
Then we do our job.
Please forgive us.
I wouldn't blame 'em
if they didn't.
We gotta get moving.
There's mines everywhere.
We've clearly overstayed
our welcome.
Who's there?
Private, is that you?
Look, if you saw
something back there...
he pulled it on me first!
That's not you.
What the hell
are you doing here?
How do you know
about this?
Don't shoot!
I'm not gonna shoot you.
No!
You know,
back at camp...
...I could barely
keep a C-ration down.
It's disgusting.
But right now,
after not eating anything
for two days...
that's all I can think about.
I would much prefer
my wife's roasted hen,
potatoes, carrots...
ale.
But right now,
all I've got is
the world's most terrible soup.
You know, terrible soup
sounds pretty good right now.
My wish is your command.
Your wish, my command.
I
think they're following us.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, I just want to make sure
we get out of here.
You know, it's funny.
All the ways to die out here...
I don't think it's these things
that are gonna kill us.
Bullets, bombs, the mines,
but no, not them.
They don't have
any intention of harming us.
Not after what
you did for them.
And maybe
they're just looking for peace.
Yeah.
Peace is a dream for us.
And for them now, too.
It's not likely.
We should keep going.
Your accent.
I'm confused.
Whatever do you mean?
I mean,
you don't sound German.
- You sound American.
- Yeah, my mom was American.
- Hmm.
- My dad German.
My dad wasn't around.
God bless America.
So what did you do
before all this?
I was an artist.
A painter.
When the war broke out,
I couldn't kill anyone.
I didn't want to hurt people, so
I wanted to help them instead.
I became a medic.
- What about you?
- Oh.
I'm about as American
as it gets.
No, what'd you do
before all this shit?
I was a veterinarian.
Yeah.
Yeah, I helped
animals walk again.
Yeah, that-- that makes sense.
I had a practice. Uh...
this kid came in
and he brought his cat
and this thing
had been gone for days, but...
he wanted to know
if I could fix him.
Pets die.
- Yeah.
- Let him get over it.
I just couldn't get over
his look on his face.
He was so sad.
Couldn't bear it.
So...
I had a cat...
that looked just like his.
I took him
into the back room.
- You didn't.
- Yeah.
- You gave him your cat?
- Yeah, he didn't know.
- Was none the wiser.
- Huh.
I mean,
I lost my favorite cat, but...
the smile on his face
was worth it.
- You're a good man.
- I don't know about that.
I wouldn't have done that.
So, what is this mission?
What are these things?
Our unit's been split up
so many times,
there's only the worst
of the worst left.
You met the Capitan earlier.
He saw one
about three weeks ago
and he's been obsessed
ever since.
Couldn't stop following it.
Dragged all of us in it.
- Why you?
- Orders.
I had no choice,
I didn't know it was a lie
until we all got separated.
What about you,
you didn't know?
No, I had no idea.
I had my orders too.
Seems like it was a big secret
from all of us.
Yeah.
What's-- what's so funny?
I'm having terrible soup
with the enemy.
You're welcome.
Yeah.
You hear that?
It's watching us.
Hide! Hide!
Friendly! Friendly!
I'm glad to see you.
Thought I heard someone else.
Just exhausted is all.
My arm's pretty messed up.
Come, sit down,
I'll take a look at it.
Why do you have my gun?
Um, I don't know.
That's my gun.
Little shit took it from me.
Where is he?
Is he here?
He didn't make it.
Oh.
Well...
What the hell is that?
What's what?
The shit on my arm.
It's a bandage.
That's a Kraut bandage.
Look, it's all I got.
Have we met before?
No, not really.
You know
what's going on out here?
Um, no, I've got my orders,
that's it.
You hear that?
It's here.
Watch your step.
Listen, you gotta go.
This guy's a loose cannon.
You didn't
tell him about the mines.
No, I didn't.
So, what are you gonna do?
I don't know.
Bingo.
Listen, you gotta go.
He's gonna be back any minute.
Okay. Maybe we'll meet again.
Good luck.
You too.
Looks like I just
saved your life, Doc.
Why did you do that?
What? Kill the enemy?
He was a medic.
He's a dirty fucking Kraut.
Now, who killed it?
- Kill what?
- The thing.
You said you don't know
what's going on out here,
so who killed it?
It stepped on a mine.
It killed itself.
You didn't tell me about
the fucking mines out there.
I said to watch your step.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, you did.
Well, looks like
somebody did me a favor.
How?
Because now
I don't have to kill it.
Why can't you just
let them live in peace?
Peace?
There's no peace for us.
Why should there be for them?
All right, we gotta go.
Yeah.
What took you so long?
New plan.
All right.
Get in the truck.
All right, Doc.
Hop in.
Come on!
So tell me.
What is your... mission?
What is all this for?
It's classified.
Classified, my ass.
This wasn't from HQ.
This is all you.
Who else knows about all this?
It doesn't matter.
They're all dead now anyway.
Yeah.
But were
they shot charging forward?
Or stabbed in the back?
What did
that little shit say to you?
Never got to finish.
He was shot in the head.
But I got the gist.
You really don't expect
to pull this off, do you?
Shut up, Doc.
Uh, you're gonna need
more than this truck
to haul that thing out of here.
If that's the plan.
And that's if
the others don't get you first.
Well, then I'll get them too.
You have no idea
what you're dealing with.
You got a real big mouth, Doc.
Getting tired
of listening to it.
What? You gonna shoot me too?
Last chance to shut up.
What the hell is that?
Now you want to be a hero, Doc?
Who the hell's shooting?
I'm gonna leave you out here
with the rest of them.
Why don't you
just do your job?
Well played, Doc.
This isn't a game.
Men are dead because of you.
Yeah, well...
I got plans, Doc.
Big plans.
This thing's
my ticket out of here.
Come on, Doc.
Don't you got a dream?
Yeah, I got a dream.
Peace.
Ah, come on.
Something else.
Something you really want.
Don't you got you got a wife...
kids... back home?
How about a cabin?
In the woods?
There you go.
Well, I can help you get that.
Just help me
get this thing out of here.
I don't think
it's gonna happen like that.
They're not gonna let you leave.
Neither am I.
That's not the answer
I was looking for, Doc.
You don't have to do this.
You made me do this, Doc.
You're one ugly motherfucker.
Thank you.
Sorry about your friend.
So, your dad met Bigfoot?
No way.
Come on, Grandad,
do you really
believe that Bigfoot's real?
That's just
campfire legend stuff.
Oh, it's real.
He said
it smelled like something else.
Like something ancient.
Now, do you believe?
Okay, listen.
This stays between you and me.
All right?
No friends. No TikTok. No phone.
This is serious stuff.
It's not a joke.
You have to promise me.
Okay, I promise.
I promise too, Grandad.
Michael.
Open the box.
Is that real Bigfoot hair?
Oh, yeah, it's real.
It's so cool.
That's actually pretty cool.
Some things...
don't need proof.
Some things
you just have to believe.
That better be a deer.
Or maybe it's something else.
Checking in.
