A campy 1970s creature-rampage film that leans into B-movie absurdity and spectacle rather than genuine scares or depth.

A newly discovered 36-foot gorilla escapes from a freighter off the coast of Korea. At the same time an American actress is filming a movie in the country. Chaos ensues as the ape kidnaps her and rampages through Seoul.
