King Kong (1976) (Classics Remastered) DVD

Primate paleontologist Jack Prescott (Jeff Bridges) sneaks aboard an expedition to the uncharted Skill Island, warning the ruthless oil executive Fred Wilson (Charles Grodin) against exploiting its resources with an ominous message about "the roar of the greatest beast" from previous doomed explorers. En route they rescue aspiring actress Dwan (Jessica Lange), the sole survivor of a shipwreck.

Upon disembarking on the island, they discover a strange primitive world of mystery and danger, where the natives live within the confines of a vast wall, to protect them from the giant ape god, Kong. Dwan is abducted and offered as a sacrifice to the savage beast, before the crew rescue her and capture Kong, to take him to New York. Wilson views him as a profitable Broadway attraction, but the ape has other ideas and escapes to rampage through the streets of the Big Apple.
