Horror Vault's take

A ruthless oil company venture into a remote, uncharted island unleashes far more than fossil fuels — a colossal ape of almost incomprehensible scale, worshipped by the island's inhabitants. When ambition overrides caution, the creature is captured and transported to New York City, where the modern world proves wholly unprepared for what it has brought home. This lavish 1970s reimagining of the classic monster tale transplants the saga into an era of energy crises and corporate cynicism, giving the familiar story a contemporary bite. Jeff Bridges and a debut Jessica Lange anchor the human drama as Kong's fate hurtles toward an iconic Manhattan showdown.
