Plot :
In 1944, in the midst of World War II,
two fighter pilots – an American soldier named Hank Marlow and a
Japanese soldier named Gunpei Ikari – parachute onto an island in the
South Pacific after a dogfight. They both engage in close combat, with Ikari gaining the upper hand, but the fight is interrupted by a behemoth ape known as Kong.
In 1973, U.S. government agent Bill Randa hires former British Special Air Service Captain James Conrad, a skilled tracker, to guide an expedition to map out an island known as "Skull Island". Their military escort is the Sky Devils, a Vietnam War helicopter squadron led by Lieutenant Colonel Preston Packard and his subordinates, Major Jack Chapman and Captain Earl Cole. The group is joined by pacifist and photojournalist Mason Weaver, who believes the expedition is a secret military operation.
Upon arrival at Skull Island, Packard's men begin dropping explosives
developed by seismologist Houston Brooks to map out the island. However,
the air unit is attacked by Kong, who kills a number of military
personnel and scatters the others across the island.
Packard regroups with some of the scattered survivors, including his door gunner Reles, pilot Glenn Mills, Cole, Landsat
employee Steve Woodward, and Randa. After being confronted by Packard,
Randa reveals his affiliation to the secret government organization
Monarch, which was trying to prove the existence of monsters and
determine their threat to humanity. The other survivors (Conrad, Weaver,
Brooks, biologist San Lin, soldier Reg Slivko, and Landsat employee
Victor Nieves) try to get to a rendezvous point to meet a resupply team
arriving in three days' time. They encounter the local Iwi
natives and an older Marlow. He reveals that Kong is the island's
guardian, worshiped as a god by the natives for protecting the island's
inhabitants from many predators, including reptilian underground
monsters dubbed "Skullcrawlers". They have killed Kong's ancestors,
leaving him as the last of his kind, and one killed Ikari.
Packard's group begins making their way to Chapman, whose helicopter
crash-landed elsewhere. Meanwhile, Chapman is ambushed and eaten by a
Skullcrawler. Conrad's group helps Marlow complete a boat built from
parts scavenged from Marlow and Ikari's downed planes. They ride the
boat down the river, and manage to secure communication with Packard's
group, but the boat is attacked by pterosaur-like
creatures which kill Nieves. They regroup with Packard, who insists on
searching for Chapman, though his true objective is to find and kill
Kong.
Marlow leads the two groups to a mass grave littered with the bones
of Kong's kind. There, the same Skullcrawler that killed Chapman attacks
the group, killing Randa and many soldiers before dying in a flammable
gas explosion triggered by Weaver. Learning about Chapman's death, a
vengeful Packard blames Kong for the deaths of his men and becomes
determined to kill him. The two groups part ways, with Packard's group
laying a trap for Kong, while the non-military personnel head back to
the boat. While scouting the path ahead, Conrad and Weaver encounter
Kong up-close and resolve to save him.
As Conrad and Weaver encounter Kong, Packard's group triggers napalm
explosions to lure him in. Kong charges to the lake, where they manage
to incapacitate him with ignited gasoline, though Woodward is killed.
Conrad's group arrives and persuades the other soldiers to spare Kong,
but Packard refuses to stand down. Then, a massive Skullcrawler emerges
from the lake, and Packard is crushed to death by a recovering Kong. The
Skullcrawler overpowers Kong and chases the humans. Cole is killed in a
failed suicide bomb attempt to kill it, but Kong returns to rescue the
others and kills the beast by ripping out its innards. He saves Weaver
from drowning, as she had been knocked into the water during the fight,
and allows the surviving humans to leave the island.
During the credits, Marlow returns home, reuniting with his wife, meeting his son for the first time, and watching a Chicago Cubs game on television. In a post-credits scene,
Conrad and Weaver are detained by Monarch and informed by Brooks and
Lin that Kong is not the only monster to roam the world. As proof, they
are shown archive footage of cave paintings depicting Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah.
