Overview

Arrogant filmmaker Carl Denham (Black) sails to the remote Skull Island with his new leading lady, Ann Darrow (Watts), and crew, including screenwriter Jack Driscoll (Brody). But upon their arrival, native warriors kidnap Ann in order to sacrifice her to the great ape King Kong. Surprisingly, instead of eating her, the beast saves her. Later, Kong is trapped and taken back to New York City, where Carl puts him in a Broadway show, to disastrous effect. Soon, the huge animal is running amok in the city, looking for Ann.
