PLOT :
In 1973, former British Special Air Service Captain James Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) is hired by government agent Bill Randa (John Goodman) to guide an expedition to map out an uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean known as "Skull Island". Randa also recruits the Sky Devils helicopter squadron led by Lieutenant Colonel Preston Packard (Samuel L. Jackson) to escort them to the island, and the group is soon joined by pacifist photojournalist Mason Weaver (Brie Larson), who believes the scientific expedition to be a cover for a crooked military operation and plans to expose it.
Arriving in Skull Island, Packard's men begin dropping explosives developed by seismologist Houston Brooks (Corey Hawkins) to determine if the ground is hollow, despite Conrad's objections. The helicopters are suddenly attacked by a 100 foot tall ape known as "Kong", and the team is separated in smaller groups. Packard confronts Randa, who reveals his affiliation to the secret government organization Monarch and the expedition's true purpose to acquire proof of the existence of monstrous creatures that have been forgotten by humanity. Packard and his remaining men bury their dead and begin searching for the missing members of the expedition, chief among them being Packard's right-hand man, Major Jack Chapman (Toby Kebbell). While trekking through the jungle, the men are attacked by a giant daddy long legs, which slaughters several men before Packard shoots it to death.
Meanwhile, Conrad, Weaver, Brooks, biologist San Lin (Jing Tian), soldier Reg Slivko (Thomas Mann) and Landsat employee Victor Nieves (John Ortiz), among others, run into the local natives and meet Hank Marlow (John C. Reilly), an American pilot who has been stranded on Skull Island since World War II. Marlow reveals that Kong is the island's guardian and is worshiped as a god by the natives for protecting them from the Skull Crawlers, reptilian monsters that live underground and have slaughtered Kong's ancestors, leaving him as the last of his kind. Marlow reveals Kong only attacked the helicopters to prevent the bombs from awakening the dormant Skull Crawlers, which have already returned to the surface and are targeting the humans.
The two groups eventually meet up and plan to leave the island, but Packard insists on searching for Chapman, who is still missing - however, unbeknownst to the team, Chapman was found and massacred by a Skull Crawler. Marlow leads them to the Forbidden Zone, a forgotten battleground between Kong's ancestors and Skull Crawlers. Conrad and the soldiers manage to kill an attacking Skull Crawler, but at the cost of Randa's life.
Packard blames Kong for the death of his men and retrieves explosives to lure Kong into a trap. Conrad and Weaver prevent Packard from killing Kong and point out Kong was only defending himself and protecting them from the Skull Crawlers. The soldiers decide to spare Kong and prepare to leave with Conrad and Weaver, but Packard arrogantly refuses to let him go, and the group is suddenly attacked by the Skull Crawlers.
Consumed with rage against the monsters, Packard stays behind as the others flee, intending to detonate the explosives once the monsters are close enough that the blast will kill them all, but Kong manages to escape and crushes Packard before he can trigger the explosives. An injured Kong is then overpowered by the Skull Crawlers, one of which chases the survivors as they race towards the shore. Captain Earl Cole (Shea Whigham) attempts to sacrifice himself to kill the pursuing Skull Crawler by arming grenades and allowing himself to be eaten, but the Skull Crawler kills him before he can and then corners the humans.
Kong returns to rescue them and, aided by Weaver, defeats the remaining Skull Crawlers, killing the lead Skull Crawler by ripping out its innards through the mouth. Weaver is violently thrown into a river by an explosion, but is then rescued by Kong. With the Skull Crawlers defeated, Kong allows the surviving humans: Conrad, Weaver, Lin, Brooks, Mills, Slivko, Marlow, and Reles to return to civilization. Sometime after Marlow returns home and is reunited with his wife and meets his son for the first time.
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, but more importantly he's not the only one that is a king. They are then shown archive footage of cave paintings depicting Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah. As it fades out, two roars can be heard. One belonging to Kong and the other being Godzilla.
Tom Hiddleston as James Conrad, a broken but noble former British Special Air Service Captain who served in the Vietnam War, hired as a hunter-tracker for the expedition by Randa.[3] Hiddleston described his character as man who holds "no political allegiance in the conflict" but "understands conflict", further stating, "He’s a former soldier who has been formed by an understanding of war, but his specific skill set is something that’s attached to the power of nature; and I think that’s something people haven’t seen in a long time."
