In the 1976 version of King Kong, the story follows a team of explorers and filmmakers led by Fred Wilson (Charles Grodin) as they journey to a mysterious island in search of the legendary giant gorilla known as Kong. Among the crew is Jack Prescott (Jeff Bridges), a primate expert who becomes fascinated by Dwan (Jessica Lange), an aspiring actress who stows away on their voyage.

Once they arrive on the island, the team encounters a variety of dangers, including prehistoric creatures and a tribe of natives who worship Kong as a god. When Dwan is taken by the natives as an offering to Kong, the crew must mount a daring rescue mission to save her.

As they venture deeper into the island, they finally come face to face with Kong, a massive and powerful creature unlike anything they've ever seen before. Despite their attempts to capture and subdue him, Kong proves to be a formidable foe, and the desperate struggle to survive takes a toll on the entire crew.

Throughout the movie, we see the growing bond between Dwan and Kong, as well as the conflicted feelings of the crew towards the creature. As they face increasing danger and obstacles, we're left wondering if anyone will make it off the island alive.
