The behind-the-screen secrets of Kong's animation are shown, the techniques and trickery explained. The men who first conceived and created the beast in 1933 are introduced, as is Kong's little-known relative— Son Of Kong. From his first great success, the monster ape appeared in several follow-ups like the Japanese King Kong Versus Godzilla, the British Konga and others — all of which are included. Down the years the super-simian has captured the imagination and quickened the pulse, evoked both horror and pity. Now, as he strides across the screen once more, new generations thrill to King Kong.
