In the 1970s, a team of explorers and soldiers are brought together to venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean - as beautiful as it is treacherous - unaware that they are crossing into the domain of monsters, as well as the mythic Kong.
Additionally, Marc Evan Jackson portrays Woodward, while Will Brittain, Tom Wilkinson and Eugene Cordero also appear in undisclosed roles.
