About
You can stream King Kong (2005) on Netflix with a subscription, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
In 1933 New York, an overly ambitious movie producer coerces his cast and hired ship crew to travel to mysterious Skull Island, where they encounter Kong, a giant ape who is immediately smitten with the leading lady.
The scale of this prehistoric playground feels genuinely overwhelming, trading typical monster movie tropes for a soulful, tragic connection between beast and beauty. Expect breathtaking practical effects and a sense of genuine wonder that makes every encounter with the island's inhabitants feel dangerous.
