From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures comes the
long-awaited showdown between two icons in the epic adventure “Godzilla vs.
Kong,” directed by Adam Wingard.
Legends collide in “Godzilla vs. Kong” as these mythic
adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the
world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous
journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with
whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find
themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction
across the globe. The initial confrontation between the two Titans—instigated
by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the
core of the Earth.
