In the year 1933 at the height of the Great Depression, the city of Manhattan New York is an unforgiving place with citizens going through rough times from being evicted out of their homes to living on the streets and shanty towns and waiting in the bread lines and soup kitchens. However, the only thing that gives them any amount of happiness are the movies. With only the price of a dime, people can go to the cinemas and forget their gloomy lives and dream of going on daring adventures on the big screen.

As for the vaudeville, even stage performers are experiencing their struggles to make a living where Ann Darrow had dreams of being famous stage actress only to discover that her theater was closed down the next day due to bankruptcy. Broke and alone, Ann wanders through the streets looking for work after little encouragement from her co-workers only to be rejected from one job position after another then slowly loses confidence. At the same time, filmmaker Carl Denham leaves the screening of Brad's latest safari film to consult with the board of investors to fund his next project, but was warned that this would be his last chance. Carl leaves to his car where his assistant Preston was waiting at the wheel and the two drive off. While driving through traffic, Carl also tells Preston that he has closed a deal with Brad to be his lead male star in his next picture. All they're missing is a leading lady, which prompts the two to find an out-of-work actress in the next twenty-four hours.

Desperate and hungry, Ann steals an apple from a fruit stand only to be spotted by the vendor and a policeman then chased through the city crowds, inadvertently stumbling in Carl's path after bumping in front of hid car. Instantly sees the Hollywood quality in her eyes, Carl comes to Ann's defense and tells Preston to pay the vendor for the apple on his behalf then the two give her a ride in the car to place for something to eat. At a café, Denham buys Ann a meal and offers her to star in his next film as the lead role and onto the adventure of a lifetime. Ann is apprehensive and unsure at first but after Carl enticing her in a song, Ann agrees and signs her deal with Denham. Unaware to them, they are spied on by young journalist and cub reporter outside, Jack Driscoll who is on a deadline to get a scoop on Denham's project to keep his job for the NY newspaper.

Carl, Preston and Ann arrive at the Hoboken docks the next night where their moving picture ship, the S.S. Wanderer is weighing to set sail for the Pacific Ocean. Carl introduces Ann to the ship's skipper Captain Englehorn and his first mate Wayland Hayes. Stepping aboard and being escorted to her cabin by Preston, Ann meets the young cabin boy, Theo, who offered to help carry her luggage. Professor J.B. Hamilton and his assistant Christopher arrive with their scientific equipment, followed by Jack Driscoll who persuaded Englehorn to aboard the ship to get an interview with Carl Denham. As Ann makes it to her cabin, she meets a feisty Latina second mate, Rayna Caruso who has taken a liking to Ann, knowing it's nice to have another woman on board. To Ann's shocking surprise, famous actor Brad Maxwell was onboard, whom she has a crush on. As Jack nearly finishes his interview with Carl but with the last of Carl's production equipment on deck, the ship has already departs from the port. Carl chimes in on him that having a journalist around would be beneficial for his picture and be a big story for the papers when they return.

The Wanderer sails through the Atlantic Ocean Ann settles in the next few days while meeting the rest of the Wanderer crew that includes the ship's lovable cook Lumpy; his good friends, sous chef Kafi and Choy the cargo supplier, Briggs the ships helmsman, Flynt the lookout, Jean-Pierre the rigger with his entomophobia friend O'Neil, and Duke the anchorman. She also meets Carl's production crew that includes his cameraman Gordan, his screenwriter Chester and his sound recordist Jared. Ann cross paths a shady man emerged from the shadows; a shady-yet infamous hunter Niles Serrone who Carl hired for protection and his tracking skills. While rehearsing, Ann meets Jack Driscoll who he accidently bumps into heron deck while carrying his notes. Jack helps her up buts gets a love ay first sight moment before being called by Carl that they're ready for filming. In the afternoon, Carl then starts filming a scene on deck shooting Ann and Brad together. Upon finishing the scene Ann unfortunately soon discovers that Brad is not as charming in his films only cares for himself. However he did had praise from Jack, Theo and Rayna.

On the voyage, Jack interviews with Carl Denham along with Preston in the mess deck later on that night discussing the truth about where they're heading. In which Hayes, Rayna, Briggs and Lumpy join in to confront Denham of the matter. After maintaining the secrecy throughout the trip, Carl reveals them along with Englehorn the map that depicts the location of the mythical Skull Island, said to be the last undiscovered land in the world which he acquired from the skipper of a Norwegian bark in Singapore three year ago. Though Hayes, Lumpy and O'Neil counter Carl's claim said there was more. Several years ago they came across a castaway who had been drifting at sea for weeks. The castaway had told them that his crew was sailing in the center of the Pacific Ocean when they were shipwrecked on an island hidden in fog and spoke of a huge stone wall over a hundred feet tall that build so long ago, no one knew who built it but it was still strong today as it was centuries ago. Jack curiously asks of why the wall was built, Carl answered that the castaway had raved about a creature feared by the locals “said to be neither beast nor man, but monstrous in nature" that rules the island as their beast god which was named "Kong'. Before there was more to be said, the castaway died from a heart attack. Reyna was the only one unfazed by the story and rumors for she doesn't believe in ghost and monster stories and claimed that the man was deluded by drinking saltwater. They were soon surprised by the appearance of Theo and Ann. Unbeknownst to them, Niles was out in the hallway eavesdropping in on the whole story then walks away in the shadows giving with a evil smirk.

Eight weeks at sea have passed from enjoying parties to helping Theo and Reyna and finishing few scenes with Brad, Jack and Ann's feelings for each other grows while tensions rise among the restless crew as the enters the Pacific Ocean. Englehorn is considering of changing course and return to New York when his compass, as well as the ship's radio and navigational equipment started malfunctioning and sails into a thick fog bank out of nowhere straight ahead. Everyone comes out see themselves unnerved and unsettled in the anonymous fog. Englehorn orders LaRoche to measure the depths by lead line. Carl then take the opportunity to film a scene with Ann who screams then they where all stunned from hearing a loud echoed roar coming from the fog. The ship barely dodges the encircling jagged rocks and the fog begins to clear at daybreak, To Carl's amazement and to Ann's, Jacks and the crew's disbelief, they see an Island in sight with a stone wall and a giant mountain in the vast distance with a rock formation shaped like a skull: Skull Island.

After dropping anchor, Denham organizes s a scouting party with Englehorn, Ann, his film crew, Jack, Rayna, Preston, Hamilton, Christopher, Niles, Brad and 8 other sailors while Hayes takes charge of the ship. Jack inquired that it may not be a good idea to bring Ann to the island, but Carl dismisses him. They all rowed ashore on the beach where they begin filming a next scene for Brad and Ann. The filming stops when all of a sudden they all hear faint drumming nearby and venture forth to investigate while three sailors stay behind to watch the boats. They discover a large native village in front of a huge stone wall with a large wooden gate that cuts off from the rest of the island just like Denham described and they witnessed the local natives performing a tribal ceremony and they see a young black woman distressed in garments then an elder walks up to bless her. When Carl attempts to film the Shaman was about to make his decision, the ceremony halts after the chieftain spots the crew. The chieftain and his warriors approaches the intruders and ask them to leave. Though Englehorn's native tongue was a tad rusty, but Hamilton is able to understand native speech but the Chief motions then to leave at once. The Chieftain's son and daughter, Amaya and Faraji come from the crowd to act as mediators between both sides for they speak english much to the crew's surprise. The two explained to them that they are intruding their sacred ceremony and demands them to leave. Carl tells Hamilton to ask the chieftain of what the ritual is about. Faraji translates his fathers words that the young woman is a offering for their island god, Kong, at the night of the full moon for it has been their way of life for thousands of years. They warned that If Kong doesn't receive a sacrifice, he would invoke his wrath upon the islanders.

Impatient, the chieftain silences his son and demanded the crew to leave once more when he notices the blind shaman joining them. As he humbly apologizes the shaman for the disruption, the elder shakenly points directly at Ann Darrow seemingly captivated by her beauty as the "golden haired one" seeing her in a golden aura in his point of view. To everyone's shock and surprise, the shaman selects her to be a gift for their deity with the Chieftain agreeing with his decision. The chief then demands the crew to give them Ann in exchange for six of their women. Denham and Jack declines, thus angering the chief, Faraji tried to reason with him with the fact that Ann is an outsider, but he ignores his son aside and rallies the tribe's warriors to take Ann by force until the Shaman stops him and whispers in his ear. The crew then make their way back to the beach, with professor and Englehorn telling the natives that they'll return tomorrow to be more acquainted with a better solution. The Chieftain tells his children to go home and assembles a group to bring Ann back by nightfall.

Back on the ship at dusk, Jack attempts to confesses his feelings to Ann before he could do so, Lumpy comes up and tells him that he needs a hand with vegetables and Englehorn and Denham want a word with him later. Ann thanks Jack for defending her early then kisses him on the cheek and tell him that she'll be in her cabin in a while. Night falls with Ann humming to the moon alone on deck when a stealth group of natives sneak aboard and quietly abducts Ann, pulling her over the side and drugging her unconscious to be carried away in their canoe back to shore. Hours later before midnight, Jack talks with Carl, Reyna, Hayes and Englehorn on the bridge when suddenly they notice torches are lit throughout the village. Theo was on deck looking out to the village hearing the tribal drums when he spots a boney bracelet then runs off to the bridge. In the village, a dazed Ann regains consciousness and finds herself wearing sacrificial garments and barefooted is being prepared for the sacrifice by the islanders before being dragged all the way to the top of the wall while the natives continuously chant "Kong! Kong! Kong!" and the Shaman awaits her. Theo enters the bridge urgently and shows the bracelet to Englehorn, Jack, Rayna, Hayes and Denham, who all recognized it belonging to the natives, only to realize that Ann has been taken. Meanwhile, The crew is loading the lifeboats with weapons - rifles and machine guns and head for shore. Carl and his film crew also discreetly load their film gear onto another boat. The five lifeboats row through the crashing waves towards the beach.

On top of the wall, the natives tie Ann's arms to a wooden framework and the Shaman comes to bless her before whispers to her ear in english that she will bring peace to Kong and that she'll be okay, much go her confusion. The framework tilts Ann gently over the chasm and lowered to a sacrificial alter with two great pillars on the other side and the framework returns. The drums immediately stop and the natives lineup at the top of the wall as they look on in silence. Ann struggles to free herself when she hears noises coming from the jungle; branches snapping, leaves rustling and Ann vaguely sees a massive figure through the trees in the distance. The oily smoke obscures her vision and now can hear heavy footsteps approaching. The Chieftain, Faraji, Amaya, the shaman and the natives watch from the wall in awestruck as their island god Kong is revealed to be a giant 30-foot gorilla emerges from the jungle. Ann trembles in fear as the giant ape towers over her. Kong rose up on his hind legs, beets his chest lets out a mighty roar echoing the grotto causing Ann to scream. He examines Ann by gently touches her face and hair with his finger before freeing from the restraints and lifting her in his right hand. Jack and Rayna leads the crew into the village, scaring the natives by shooting flares. Kong seas the flares and lets out another loud roar causes an Ann to scream again that echoes everywhere. Jack realizes she's behind the wall and starts climbing to the top with Rayna right behind him. Carl and Niles caught only a glimpse of Kong through the gates. Ann's fear overcame her and faints in Kong's hand who carries her away but pauses. Kong turns around and glares back at the two men then disappears into the jungle. Jack and Rayna raced to the top of the wall only to see Shaman looking down and also see that Ann was already gone.

The crew regroups at the base of the gate where Englehorn assembles a search party to rescue Ann Darrow while stocking up weapons, ammunition and food. Led by Jack, Hayes and Rayna, the party consists of O'Neil, Jean-Pierre, Shepard, Rigby, Niles, Snyder, Richter, LaRoche, and 30 other sailors. On the other hand, Englehorn himself, Lumpy, Briggs, Kafi, Duke and the rest of the crew will remain at the village. Archimedes volunteers to accompany in the search along with his assistant while Carl and his film crew volunteer as well while bringing the camera, tripod and the film stock. Faraji comes out of hiding to aid the crew as their guide. Theo insists of join the search but Englehorn wouldn't allow it, telling him it's too dangerous then turns to Jack, promising him that they'll put a guard on the gate until he and the others return and he will provide more supplies from his seaplane. Upon opening the gates and lowering the draw bridge, the party then begun their perilous mission into jungles of Skull Island.

As they march their way through the jungle, they hear noises in the brush then were attacked a Ceratosaurus only to be shot down by Niles, killing the dinosaur. Despite Jack's eagerness to press on, the crew decides the rest within a nearby ruin for the night and Rayna assures Jack that Ann will be okay when they find her. The next morning, When O'Neil and Flynt open up the supply crate for breakfast, They discovered that Theo has stowed away inside, alerting the crew. Theo insist of helping find Ann and with the Crew can no longer turn back, they had no choice but to let Theo tag along. Theo, Jack and Rayna stumble Kong's massive footprint in disbelief to the crew, believing to be very beast that has taken Ann. At a cliffside view, the crews is shocked and discovers a vast array of living Dinosaurs living on the Island while coming across an grazing Iguanodon before continuing their march into the Valley below.

Meanwhile elsewhere, Ann wakes up only to find herself in Kong's palm and attempts to escape from him while he still sleeps and runs off. She runs passed a Maiasaura nesting ground then to open field with Termite mounds when she heard voices from the other side of a huge rock Rodney and Dumbar, a Stenonychosaurus and a Pachyrhinosaurus. Frightened at first but befriends them who have never seen a human like her before for they haven't seen them around this side of the island then they tell her to hide in the log for they saw a raptor coming their way. A Raptor pack led by their alpha male, Razer who has history with Rodney and Dumbar. One of the raptors, Klaww sneaks to attack the duo behind but stops when he catches Ann's scent and finds her in the log. Ann was then rescue by the arrival of Kong who fends off the pack then picks Ann. Once he does, Ann struggles before finally settling down that Kong had saved her life and discovers the towering ape's true nature that he's no monster that she thought and two move on with Ann on Kong's shoulder and the Rodney and Dumbar accompanying them along.

The crew made their way to the Valley where they came a cross a grazing herd comprised of Brontosaurs, Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus and Edmontosaurus, and Stegosaurs. Carl briefly filmed the dinosaurs with Brad in the shot, but the herds were spooked by a pack of three Allosaurs and stampede towards the party. The crew manage to avoid getting trampled but five men were killed. The situation gets worse when the raptor pack joined the chase and mauled Nigel off-screen allowing the crew to escape out of the valley. Raptors and Allosaurs were fighting over a dead Edmontosaur when suddenly Dharak the Tyrannosaurus rex emerges and overpowers both packs and takes the carcass with him only after to get information from one of the Raptors of Kong's whereabouts.

At the same time, Ann on Kong's shoulder were trekking through the jungle with Rodney and Dumbar while asking questions back and forth of where Ann. They later stop by a clearing by a tree filled with tropical fruit which Kong had offered to Ann. Ann then ask them of what is life on the island like then Rodney explains despite the hazardous terrain, danger around every corner and lurking carnivores, life on Skull Island is pretty simple, with the exception with the swamps. Ann asks why but Dumbar insist that she "Trust us, you don't want to know what lurks there." Ann takes their word but she is still timid by Kong even after saving her life from the raptors. Rodney and Dumbar are familiar with Kong very much and even though he's intimidating, he isn't so bad once she gets to know him. During a song, the music attracts other juvenile dinosaurs who were intrigued by Ann then Dumbar slips and slides down the brush and foliage and stumbles on a Pachyrhinosaurus herd he's familiar with

Elsewhere the crew regroups at a clearing hillside, tending to the injured. Carl was distressed by the loss of Jared and with the assurance from Preston and Gordan that it wasn't his fault, Carl decided tp dedicate this film to Jared's memory. Hays then tells the men that the still need to catchup with Ape if the wished to find Ann but Jack and Reyne both don't have a clue of where Kong is taking her. While Prof Hamiliton is looking on through his telescope, he spots a ruin in the far distance. At the same time,

The island's coastal shores are covered with jagged rocks and ruins alike and a sandy beach at the shoreline.

The first sight of Skull Island was a rocky/sandy peninsula. which had the native village and behind it was a massive 100-foot stone wall that cuts it off on the lower south-east from the rest of the island. The wall was built by a long-forgotten civilization over thousands of years ago and behind is a broken end of a stone bridge and across the chasm is an alter with two wooded columns on the other side. The Wall is only the threshold of Skull Island cause beyond it lies thick jungles, barren plains, grasslands, waterfalls and mountainous areas.

It has distinctive a gigantic skull-shaped rock formation on one of the mountains. The northern side of the island is where Kong's lair resides on the tallest mountain that is the ruins of a mountain temple.

This version of Skull Island has the elements off the 2005 and 1933 incarnations.
