King Kong Lives
America's biggest hero is back... and he is not happy.
Directed by John Guillermin
Produced by DEG
A pulpy creature-feature sequel that pairs action-adventure spectacle with a monstrous romance, driven by military conflict and giant-ape destruction.
After falling from the Twin Towers, Kong lies in a coma for ten years. When his heart begins to fail, scientists engineer an artificial heart, and a giant female ape is captured to serve as a source for a blood transfusion. When Kong awakens following his heart transplant, he senses the nearby presence of the female ape and the two escape to wreak havoc together.
