However, he is unable to secure an actress for a female role he has been reluctant to disclose. In the streets of <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a>, he finds Ann Darrow and promises her "the thrill of a lifetime". The <i>Venture</i> sets off, during which Denham reveals that their destination is in fact <a href="/wiki/Skull_Island_(King_Kong)" title="Skull Island (King Kong)">an uncharted island with a mountain the shape of a skull</a>. He alludes to a mysterious entity named <i>Kong,</i> rumored to dwell on the island. The crew arrive and anchor offshore. They encounter a native village, separated from the rest of the island by an enormous stone wall with a large wooden gate. They witness a group of natives preparing to sacrifice a young woman termed the "bride of Kong". The intruders are spotted and the native chief stops the ceremony. When he sees the blonde-haired Ann, he offers to trade six of his tribal women for the "golden woman". They refuse him and return to the ship. </p><p>That night, after the ship's first mate, <a href="/wiki/Jack_Driscoll_(character)" title="Jack Driscoll (character)">Jack Driscoll</a>, admits his love for Ann, the natives kidnap Ann from the ship and take her through the gate and onto an altar, where she is offered to <a href="/wiki/King_Kong" title="King Kong">Kong</a>, who is revealed to be a giant <a href="/wiki/Gorilla" title="Gorilla">gorilla</a>-like beast. Kong carries a terrified Ann away as Denham, Jack and some volunteers give chase. The men encounter living <a href="/wiki/Dinosaur" title="Dinosaur">dinosaurs</a>; a charging <i><a href="/wiki/Stegosaurus" title="Stegosaurus">Stegosaurus</a></i>, which they manage to kill, but are attacked by an aggressive <i><a href="/wiki/Brontosaurus" title="Brontosaurus">Brontosaurus</a></i> and eventually Kong himself, leaving Jack and Denham as the only survivors. After Kong slays a <i><a href="/wiki/Tyrannosaurus" title="Tyrannosaurus">Tyrannosaurus</a></i> to save Ann, Jack continues to follow them while Denham returns to the village. Upon arriving in Kong's mountain lair, Ann is menaced by a <i><a href="/wiki/Tanystropheus" title="Tanystropheus">Tanystropheus</a></i>-like <i><a href="/wiki/Elasmosaurus" title="Elasmosaurus">Elasmosaurus</a></i>, which Kong also kills. When a female <i><a href="/wiki/Pteranodon" title="Pteranodon">Pteranodon</a></i> tries to fly away with Ann, and is killed by Kong, Jack saves her and they climb down a vine dangling from a cliff ledge. When Kong starts pulling them back up, the two drop into the water below; they flee through the jungle back to the village, where Denham, Englehorn, and the surviving crewmen await. Kong, following, breaks open the gate and relentlessly rampages through the village. Onshore, Denham, determined to bring Kong back alive, renders him unconscious with a gas bomb. </p><p>Shackled in chains, Kong is taken to New York City and presented to a <a href="/wiki/Broadway_theatre" title="Broadway theatre">Broadway theatre</a> audience as "Kong, the <a href="/wiki/Eighth_Wonder_of_the_World" title="Eighth Wonder of the World">Eighth Wonder of the World</a>!" Ann and Jack join him on stage, surrounded by press photographers. The ensuing flash photography causes Kong to break loose as the audience flees in terror. Ann is whisked away to a hotel room on a high floor, but Kong, scaling the building, reclaims her. He makes his way through the city with Ann in his grasp, wrecking a crowded elevated train and begins climbing the <a href="/wiki/Empire_State_Building" title="Empire State Building">Empire State Building</a>. Jack suggests to police for airplanes to shoot Kong off the building, without hitting Ann. Four <a href="/wiki/Biplanes" class="mw-redirect" title="Biplanes">biplanes</a> take off; seeing the planes arrive, Jack becomes agitated for Ann's safety and rushes inside with Denham. At the top, Kong is shot at by the planes, as he begins swatting at them. Kong destroys one, but is wounded by the gunfire. After he gazes at Ann, he is shot more, loses his strength and plummets to the streets below; Jack reunites with Ann. Denham heads back down and is allowed through a crowd surrounding Kong's corpse in the street. When a policeman remarks that the planes got him, Denham states, "Oh, no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was Beauty killed the Beast." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=King_Kong_(1933_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Fay_Wray" title="Fay Wray">Fay Wray</a> as Ann Darrow</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Robert_Armstrong_(actor)" title="Robert Armstrong (actor)">Robert Armstrong</a> as <a href="/wiki/Carl_Denham" title="Carl Denham">Carl Denham</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bruce_Cabot" title="Bruce Cabot">Bruce Cabot</a> as <a href="/wiki/Jack_Driscoll_(character)" title="Jack Driscoll (character)">John "Jack" Driscoll</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Frank_Reicher" title="Frank Reicher">Frank Reicher</a> as Captain Englehorn</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sam_Hardy_(actor)" title="Sam Hardy (actor)">Sam Hardy</a> as Charles Weston</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Victor_Wong_(actor_born_1906)" class="mw-redirect" title="Victor Wong (actor born 1906)">Victor Wong</a> as Charlie</li> <li><a href="/wiki/James_Flavin" title="James Flavin">James Flavin</a> as Second Mate Briggs</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Etta_McDaniel" title="Etta McDaniel">Etta McDaniel</a> as The Native Mother</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Everett_Brown" title="Everett Brown">Everett Brown</a> as The Native In An <a href="/wiki/Ape" title="Ape">Ape</a> Costume</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Noble_Johnson" title="Noble Johnson">Noble Johnson</a> as The Native Chief</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Steve_Clemente" title="Steve Clemente">Steve Clemente</a> as The Witch Doctor</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=King_Kong_(1933_film)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-Expand_section plainlinks metadata ambox mbox-small-left ambox-content" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="[icon]" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/20px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png" decoding="async" width="20" height="14" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/30px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/40px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="44" data-file-height="31" /></a></span></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>needs expansion</b>.
