Donkey Kong (Live-Action Film)

Donkey Kong (or extensively Donkey Kong Country) is a American fantasy adventure film directed and produced by Jon Favreau, produced by Nintendo, and written by Justin Marks. Based on the eponymous Nintendo video game franchise and inspired by the 1998 television series of the same name.

The film required extensive use of computer-generated imagery to portray the animals and settings.

Plot
In 1981, a escaped captive gorilla climbs a pair of ladders to the top of a construction site, with a unnamed woman in hand. He sets the woman down and stomps his feet, causing the steel beams to change shape and catching the attention of a carpenter who was pursuing them. To evade capture, the gorilla begins throwing barrels that set off fireballs, but it fails to slow the carpenter.

The gorilla is mortally injured by the carpenter, and gazes at the woman for the last time before falling from the building. As the two reconcile, the gorilla fearfully flees from the site and from the city, stowing away on a boat to an uncharted island.
