King Kong

Peter Jackson’s reboot of King Kong transplants the original’s New York setting to a more tumultuous era, casting the ambitious and reckless producer Carl Denham as the orchestrator of a perilous voyage to Skull Island. There, the crew encounters the island’s colossal guardian, Kong, who seizes the film’s leading lady in a near-sentient infatuation, setting the stage for a tragic battle between man and monster in the heart of a forgotten world.
