Plot
The film opens up in New York City, where young lost actress Ann Darrow lost her job after her theater was shut down due to bankruptcy and is now desperately looking for work.

Elsewhere, wildlife film director Carl Denham's latest picture is slammed by critics and being reprimanded by his producers Martin Bailey, Sal Maggio and Robert Mulligan. Hoping to make a comeback, Denham acquires a map to an uncharted mythic island where he plans to use a location for his next film, then pleads the board to fund his expedition, but they immediately refuse to fund him any more money for a wild goose chase. Martin then tells Carl that he's dismissed to step out of the room, outside he asks his assistant Jasper for a glass to eavesdrop and learns they plan to scrap his picture and sell the animal footage for its value. Denham and his assistant Jasper make haste and call a Taxi to save their film. Jasper later informs Carl that their leading lady has dropped out of the project which forces the two to leave to find a new star in the next twenty-four hours.

In the evening, Carl and Preston searched for hours through the streets when they notice Ann at the fruit vendor attempting to steal an apple but was caught then Carl comes by and pays for her. Ater buying her a hot meal in a diner, Denham convinces her to accompany him and join his film cast as a lead female star. With Ann convinced, Carl reminds her to meet them at the S.S. Venture tomorrow night around 8pm. Unbeknownst to them, they are spied on by journalist Jack Driscoll.

The next night, Ann accompanies Carl and Preston at the docks where their ship, the S.S. Venture is waiting, run by Captain Engelhorn, who is nearly finished on loading the last of Carl's cargo and production equipment before they set sail for the far east. Jack arrives later and persuades Engelhorn to join his voyage. On the ship, Ann encounters a young boy named Theo who is cabin boy and offered to help carry her luggage while Preston shows her to her cabin. Later professor Archimedes Hamilton and his college students Rachel and Chrstopher arrive with their scientific equipment, followed by Jack Driscoll who persuaded Engelhorn 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, Rayne Caruso who has taken a liking to Ann, knowing it's nice to have another woman on board. Jack finishes his interview with Carl but notices that the ship has already departed.

Aboard, Engelhorn sets sail to Indonesia. On the next couple of days, as Ann settles in, she meets the rest of the crew; Briggs, Engelhorn's first mate, the ship's cook Lumpy, his sous-chef Kafi, Choy the janitor, the lookouts Shepard and Flynt, and Carl's film crew Gordan, the cameraman, Chester the screenwriter. She soon meets a man emerged from the shadows; a shady-yet infamous hunter Niles Serrone who Carl hired for protection. She then runs into Jack Driscoll

On that night, Briggs, Rayne, O'Neil, Sheppard and Lumpy confronted Carl and Jasper in the mess deck about the truth of their true destination. Carl then comes clean and reveals to them along with Engelhorn that his intended destination for filming is Skull Island, an uncharted island in the center of the Indian Ocean where Prehistoric life is said to exist on the island, and the one dominant creature most feared by the natives “is a solitary specimen, said to be neither beast nor man, but monstrous in nature.”. They explained to them about eight years before Briggs, McSweeney and O'Neil had been sailing along the Caribbean when they came across a castaway who had been adrift for weeks. the castaway raved that his ship was wrecked ashore on a mysterious island hidden in mist and tells them of a huge 100ft stone wall that build so long ago, know knew who built it but it was still strong today as it was ages ago. Jaspen asks of why the wall was built. O'Neil tells them the castaway was raving and ranting on a monstrous creature supposedly living behind the wall and human sacrifice. Before he could say more, he suddenly died of a heart-attack. Denham was unfazed by the warning and leaves.

As the weeks pass, Jack and Ann are. Engelhorn was thinking of turning back when the compass and their navigational equipment malfunctions and enters in thick veil of fog.

The next morning, Engelhorn and Denham accompany Ann, Jack, Ryder, Rayne Jasper, Archimedes, Christopher, Niles and other sailors in lifeboats to shore while Briggs takes charge of the ship. On shore they begin shooting for Ann's screaming scene, they all hear faint drums and chanting and venture forth through the rocky cavern forest coast to investigate the commotion while two sailors guard the boats. The later go into a forest of tropical, they discover a large native village infront of a huge stone wall and wooden gate that cuts off from the rest of the island. They observe on the natives that are preparing a strange ritual is taking place and they see a young black woman distressed by this. Engelhorn that woman is to be a human sacrifice. When Carl attempts to film and when the village Shaman was about to make his decision, the chieftain notices and goes to confront them. Hamiliton later translates the chief's word that he tells them to leave because they have interrupted their sacred ceremony. Carl asks Hamiliton to tell him that were just there to shoot a movie and ask of what the ritual is about. The Chief explain that the young woman is a gift for their island god, Kong. As they talk, the blind Shaman walks slowly joins the chieftain at his side and disturbingly points his finger shakenly towards not Rayne but Ann Darrow, as he has chosen her to be their gift for Kong, due to her golden blond hair. Agree with his decision, The chief then demands the crew to give them Ann in exchange for six of their women. The captive woman uses this an opportunity to escape and then the crew quickly race back to the lifeboats, but the Native do not pursuit.

On the ship, Rayne, Engelhorn and the crew tend to the woman, whose name is revealed to be Shenice who had been shipwreck on the island for seven weeks. Jack confesses his feelings toward Ann on deck and the two almost shared a kiss when Lumpy interrupts telling Jack that Engelhorn would like to talk to him. Ann interjects telling him it's alright that she'll be in her cabin in a short while. Under the full moon, Ann was by herself humming her feeling for Jack when she was quietly kidnapped by the natives, who drugged her unconscious then took her with them back to the wall for the ceremony. One hour later, Engelhorn talks with Carl and Jack about moving to the other side of the Island in which would be a safer idea away from the natives when they hear the drums from the village, lightened by the torches. Theo was wandering on deck, glancing at the full moon when he comes across a boney necklace on the floor then runs off to tell Engelhorn.

Still drugged, now barefooted and wearing sacrificial garments, Ann is being prepared by the Shaman before being dragged all the way to the top of the wall while the natives chant "Kong! Kong! Kong!".

Theo rushes in the captain's cabin to show Engelhorn him, Rayne, Briggs, Shenice, and Denham of the native necklace he found on deck, Shenice recognizes the necklace from one of the natives. Jack alerts the crew that Ann has disappeared and Engelhorn quickly sends his crew to the lifeboats with all the rifles and assault machine guns as the natives send Ann over the chasm, tied to as stick then lowered to a rock promontory which is the alter on the other side. While struggling to break free, the drums and chanting stop then Ann hears noises coming from the jungle as trees creaking, branches cracking, bushes rustling and sees something big through the trees.

As Driscoll, Denham, Engelhorn, Rayne, Niles and the crew arrive at shore, Ann screams in terror as the native's island god Kong emerges from the jungle, revealing to be a giant prehistoric male gorilla who seemed to be examining Ann by prods her face with his finger before he unties her. The crew made their way to the village, scaring the natives with warning shots. Kong rose on his hind legs then beats his chest who is now in the beast's grasp before he roared as causing her to scream. Ann's fear overcame her and faints in Kong's hand while Carl caught only a glimpse of Kong through the gates who glances at him before taking Ann and disappears into the jungle. Jack raced to the top of the wall

Later, Engelhorn prepares organizes a search party to get Ann Darrow back. which consists of Jack Briggs, Rayne, O'Neil, Jean-Pierre, Shepard, Rigby, Niles, Snyder, Richter, James and 30 other sailors while Engelhorn, Lumpy, Kafi and the rest of the crew remain at the village. Archimedes decides to volunteer to accompany in the search along with his students while Carl readied his crew and film equipment bring the film stock. Shenice volunteers to come along who feels that she's to blame for letting the Shaman chose Ann instead of her. Theo wants to come too but Engelhorn objects, telling him it's too dangerous out there then turns to Jack, promising him that they'll put a guard on the gate until he and the others return and then gives the party enough food, ammunition and supplies and he'll provide more via seaplane should they run out.

The party embarks their perilous journey into thick dark jungle
