King Kong

A tragic love story of the most epic proportions, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack’s KING KONG helped spark the larger-than-life monster movie tradition. Following a dangerous filmmaking expedition, megalomaniac director Carl Denham hauls home a prized souvenir: a massive ape named Kong. Eventually breaking loose, the beast scours the streets of New York looking for Denham’s beautiful lead Ann, hoisting her to the top of the Empire State Building when his love goes unrequited. Featuring spectacular stop-motion animation from the legendary Willis O’Brien, KING KONG continues to captivate audiences decades years after its initial release. Even now, KING KONG remains a towering presence in popular culture.
