Step-by-step explanation

A gang of loggers are ending work for the day and preparing a large roast in an unidentified frozen wilderness when a hideous axe-wielding guy appears from the woods, kills virtually everyone, and then runs the foreman through the circular saw. Later, Sergeant A. Hoke and Ms. Sam Kowowzinkowski, a guidance counselor, lead a group of five teenage first-time offenders, Marty, Trish, Zack, Rosa, and CB, into the woods for a week-long rehabilitation adventure. When they get to the secluded cottage, Hoke informs the others that they will be sleeping in tents outdoors while he relaxes. A grizzly bear stalks a deer in the adjacent woods when a big man (Bunyan) appears from the trees, takes up the grizzly, cracks its neck, then skins and cleans the corpse.

Ms. K is talking with the teenagers around the campfire one night when a local hermit, Meeks, interrupts their program discussion, shocking them, until Hoke chases him away and puts everyone to bed. Hoke leads the others on a strenuous climb the next morning. Zack and Martin come upon the bones of a big bull thrusting out from the ground as they pause for lunch. As a keepsake, Zack removes a horn from the skull. Bunyan later visits the spot and discovers that it is the tomb of his ox, Babe, and that the skull is missing a horn, which enrages the giant.

Hoke and Ms. K, the delinquents, take a break from their trek. A breeze sweeps across the horn as Martin and Zack throw it back and forth, alerting Bunyan to their position. The monster appears from the woods behind an unknowing Trish—who is distracted when her phone picks up a rare signal—and swoops down on her with his axe, slicing her in two vertically. In a panic, the others flee, and Bunyan bisects Hoke, but lodges his axe in a tree, allowing the others to return to the cabin. Bunyan chases them down and drags their vehicle away from them, trapping them, before retreating to his lair.

In a hurry, Meeks rushes into the campsites, where the others welcome him inside the cabin. When he sees the horn, he informs the group of their transgression and that Paul Bunyan is based on a real person, the son of a 19th century timber magnate and a European immigrant. He was born with an unique disease that tripled his life expectancy and created severe gigantism. Bunyan's blue ox, Babe, was injured in adolescence and strayed into some loggers' territory, where he was murdered for the flesh. Bunyan retaliated by killing the loggers, prompting the locals to imprison him in an abandoned mine. While dwelling in the highlands, Bunyan survived and grew to his full height. Meeks threatens them with death unless they restore Babe's horn to Bunyan's shrine.

When Zack hears this, he rushes out of the cottage with the horn, tossing it into the woods. Bunyan appears, pulls Zack's corpse off, and goes to his cave to sharpen his axe when the horn is hurled back out of the woods and impales him. CB's father (who also happens to be the local sheriff) is sent to the location in response to a bear sighting, but instead discovers Hoke's death. Bunyan reappears and crashes through the cabin's roof. Rosa is grabbed and thrown against a tree, where she is killed. The others hurry outside, and just as Bunyan is about to attack them, CB's father, who has just arrived on the scene, shoots him with multiple tranquilizer darts. Bunyan is knocked unconscious and the cabin is crushed. While protecting Bunyan, Meeks arrives from the woods and holds them all at gunpoint. Bunyan regains consciousness and decapitates Meeks after shooting Martin and preparing to execute the others. Bunyan pursues Sheriff, CB, and Ms. K to a riverside footbridge, trapping them until a militia of local hunters comes. They fire their firearms at Bunyan, who seems to be gravely wounded and collapses into the river below. With the militia, the Sheriff, CB, and Ms. K depart.
