King Kong is a story of a gargantuan ape from the skull island who falls in love with a novice actress. When a disheartened film director Carl Denham (Jack Black) decides to renovate his sinking down career, he decides to flee to a far-flung island along with playwright Jack Driscoll (Adrein Brody) and a struggling vaudeville actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts). The schematic director wants to go to the Skull Island that is rumored to be inhabited by a humongous ape. He believes that this monster could clinch the blockbuster he so badly needs. On reaching the island Ann falls into Kong‘s trap. The initially terrified Ann gradually becomes empathetic towards Kong and a bonding between them is instigated.
