Plot summary is as follows-

“Jack Denham, grandson of moviemaker Carl Denham (who brought Kong to New York in 1933) clashes with a ruthless business magnate, Carlton Hemming, as both attempt to clone the giant ape, Kong, from blood samples discovered by a high-steel worker in 1999.”

“Succeeding beyond their wildest dreams, it is quickly apparent the cloned ape belongs back in his native wilderness and not the wilds of New York.”

“The final life-and-death struggle is played out on Skull Island -- a lost world in the Indian ocean, full of monstrous creatures -- where the original Kong was found over 70 years ago.”
