Peter Jackson's expansive remake of the 1933 classic follows
director Carl Denham (Jack Black) and his crew on a journey from New
York City to the ominous Skull Island to film a new movie. Accompanying
him are playwright Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody) and actress Ann Darrow
(Naomi Watts), who is whisked away by the monstrous
ape, Kong, after they reach the island. The crew encounters dinosaurs
and other creatures as they race to rescue Ann, while the actress forms a
bond with her simian captor.
Actress Ann Darrow (Fay Wray) and director Carl Denham (Robert
Armstrong) travel to the Indian Ocean to do location shoots for Denham's
new jungle picture. Along the way, the actress meets and falls for
rugged First Mate John Driscoll (Bruce Cabot). Upon arriving at a
mysterious island, Ann is taken hostage by natives
who prepare her as a sacrifice to the enormous ape Kong who rules over
their jungle. But when Ann is rescued and Kong is captured, the real
trouble begins.
