King Kong is a 1933 American pre-Code adventure horror film directed and produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, with special effects by Willis H. O'Brien. Produced and distributed by RKO Radio Pictures, it is the first film in the King Kong franchise. The film stars Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong and Bruce Cabot. In the film, a giant ape nicknamed Kong attempts to possess a beautiful young woman.
King Kong opened in New York on March 2, 1933 to rave reviews and has since been ranked by Rotten Tomatoes as the greatest horror film of all time and the fifty-sixth greatest film of all time. In 1991, it was deemed "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. A sequel, titled Son of Kong, was fast-tracked and released the same year, with several other films made over the following decades, including two remakes made in 1976 and 2005 respectively, and a reboot in 2017.
In New York Harbor, filmmaker Carl Denham, known for his wildlife films in remote and exotic locations, charters Captain Englehorn's ship, the Venture, for his new project. However, he is unable to secure an actress for a female role which he has been reluctant to disclose. Searching the streets of New York, he finds Ann Darrow and promises her the adventure of a lifetime. The crew boards the Venture and departs, during which the ship's first mate, Jack Driscoll, falls in love with Ann. Denham reveals to the crew that their destination is actually Skull Island, an unknown territory. It alludes to a mysterious entity named Kong, rumored to inhabit the island. The crew arrives and anchors offshore. They come across an indigenous village, separated from the rest of the island by a huge stone wall with a large wooden gate. They see a group of natives preparing to sacrifice a young woman called "Kong's Wife". The intruders are spotted and the native chief stops the ceremony. When he sees Ann, he offers to trade six of his tribal women for the "golden woman". They refuse him and return to the ship.
That night, the natives kidnap Ann from the ship and take her through the door and to an altar, where she is offered to King Kong, a giant gorilla-like beast. Kong carries away a terrified Ann as Denham, Jack and some volunteers enter the jungle hoping to save her. They encounter a live dinosaur, a charging Stegosaurus, which they manage to kill. Soon after, the crew encounters an aggressive Brontosaurus and eventually Kong himself, leaving Jack and Denham as the only survivors. After Kong kills a Tyrannosaurus rex that tried to eat Ann, Jack continues to follow them while Denham returns to the village for more men. Arriving at Kong's mountain lair, Ann is threatened by a snake-like Elasmosaurus, which Kong also kills. While Kong is distracted by killing a Pteranodon that tried to fly away with Ann, Jack reaches him and they climb down a vine that hangs from a cliff ledge. When Kong notices and begins to pull them up, the two fall into the water below. They travel through the jungle and return to the village, where Denham, Englehorn, and the surviving crew members are waiting. Kong then opens the door and crashes into the village. Onshore, Denham, now determined to bring Kong back alive, knocks him unconscious with a gas bomb.
In chains, Kong is taken to New York and introduced to a Broadway theater audience as "Kong, Eighth Wonder of the World!" Ann and Jack are brought on stage to join him, surrounded by a group of photographers Kong, believing the ensuing flash photograph to be an attack, goes on a rampage as the audience flees in horror.

He speeds through the city as Ann screams within reach; destroying a crowded elevated train and eventually scaling the Empire State Building to its top, he is attacked by four destroyed Kong biplanes. one, but ultimately succumbs to their gunfire. He looks at Ann one last time before falling to his death. Jack takes an elevator to the top of the building and finds Ann arriving and pushing through a crowd surrounding Kong's corpse.
