Kong: Skull Island" is an action-adventure film released in 2017. It serves as a reboot and prequel to the King Kong franchise. Here's a brief summary of the movie:
The story is set in the early 1970s, at the end of the Vietnam War. A secretive government organization known as Monarch, led by Bill Randa (John Goodman), convinces the U.S. government to fund an expedition to an uncharted island in the South Pacific called Skull Island.
The expedition team is assembled, including a group of scientists led by Dr. Houston Brooks (Corey Hawkins) and geologist James Conrad (Tom Hiddleston), as well as a military escort led by Lieutenant Colonel Preston Packard (Samuel L. Jackson). They are accompanied by a British photojournalist named Mason Weaver (Brie Larson).
Upon reaching Skull Island, the team begins dropping seismic charges to map the island's terrain. However, their actions soon provoke the wrath of a gigantic ape known as Kong, who emerges from the jungle and destroys most of their helicopters. The survivors find themselves scattered across the island, with some taken captive by the native Iwi tribe and others encountering various deadly creatures that inhabit the island.
Separated from their initial mission objectives, the team must find a way to regroup and escape the island before it becomes their grave. Along the way, they encounter Hank Marlow (John C. Reilly), a World War II pilot who has been stranded on Skull Island for nearly three decades. Marlow provides them with crucial information about Kong and the other creatures on the island.
As the group learns more about Skull Island's mysteries, they realize that Kong is not the enemy they initially believed him to be. They discover that Kong protects the island from a much more dangerous and monstrous threat known as the Skullcrawlers, enormous reptilian creatures that pose a grave threat to both humans and Kong's dominance.
In a race against time, the survivors must confront their own fears, the hostile environment, and the deadly creatures that inhabit Skull Island. They find themselves caught in the middle of a battle for survival, where they must choose between leaving the island or aiding Kong in his fight against the Skullcrawlers.
"Kong: Skull Island" sets the stage for future encounters between Kong and other iconic monsters in the MonsterVerse, including Godzilla.
