The first in a trilogy of films based on Merrian C. Cooper and Edgar Wallace's King Kong and Peter Jackson's ideas for a Kong trilogy. Set in the Depression Era, struggling filmmaker Carl Denham and assistant Jeffery Prescott convince film producer Charles Weston to fund an expedition to the mythical island known as Skull Island. Accompanying them are Captain Englehorn, an old friend of Denham's, his crew, former first mate and army captain Jack Discroll, and upcoming British actress and former archeologist Ann Darrow. But what begins as a filming expedition turns into a fight for survival as Ann is captured by the natives of the island to sacrifice to the island's ruler, Kong, who defended them from a terrifying bat creature known as Camazotz ages ago. It all culminates in Denham capturing both Kong and Camazotz and bringing them back to New York, resulting in a battle between the two giants with the crew and citizens of the city forced to aid Skull Island's former ape-like ruler if they are to survive.
