In 1933 America, the Great Depression and a blind exploratory spirit inspired everyone to explore strange new worlds and develop unknown living space. Ann (Naomi Watts), a beautiful actress, increasingly felt herself surrounded by the depressing atmosphere of New York. Just as her career was in decline, along came Carl (Jack Black), an ambitious film producer who brought her luck. She would star in his latest production which was to be filmed on Skull Island. Ann hoped that this island, near Sumatra, would bring her an exciting and stimulating journey.
