Flamboyant, foolhardy documentary filmmaker, Carl Denham, sails off to remote Skull Island to film his 
latest epic with leading lady, Ann Darrow. Native warriors kidnap Ann to use as a sacrifice as they summon 
"Kong" with the local witch doctor. But instead of devouring Ann, Kong saves her. Kong is eventually taken 
back to New York where he searches high and low for Ann, eventually winding up at the top of the Empire State 
Building, facing off against a fleet of World War I fighter planes. 

==========

Carl Denham needs to finish his movie and has the perfect location; Skull Island. But he still needs to find 
a leading lady. This 'soon-to-be-unfortunate' soul is Ann Darrow. No one knows what they will encounter on this 
island and why it is so mysterious, but once they reach it, they will soon find out. Living on this hidden 
island is a giant gorilla and this beast now has Ann is its grasps. Carl and Ann's new love, Jack Driscoll must 
travel through the jungle looking for Kong and Ann, whilst avoiding all sorts of creatures and beasts. But Carl 
has another plan in mind.

==========

Set in the 1930s, this is the story of a young and beautiful actress Ann Darrow from the world of vaudeville who 
finds herself lost in depression-era New York and her luck changes when she meets an over-ambitious filmmaker 
Carl Denham who brings her on an exploratory expedition to a remote island where she finds compassion and the 
true meaning of humanity with an ape Kong. The beauty and the beast finally meet their fate back in the city of 
New York where the filmmaker takes and displays the ape in quest of his fame by commercial exploitation which 
ultimately leads to catastrophe for everyone including a playwright Jack Driscoll who falls in love with Ann and 
plays an unlikely hero by trying to save her from Kong and her destiny.
