Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Five years after the three headed dragon-like extraterrestrial, King Ghidorah, awakened giant monsters, known as "Titans", and was defeated by Godzilla,[c] Kong is monitored by Monarch within a giant dome on Skull Island, which has been struck by a perpetual storm. Jia, the last Iwi native and young adopted daughter of Kong expert Ilene Andrews, visits Kong. Jia is deaf and communicates using American Sign Language. Andrews grows concerned that the storm will eventually consume the island, but she dismisses ideas to move Kong to a new home, fearing that Godzilla would come for him once he leaves the island. Apex Cybernetics employee and Titan conspiracy podcast host Bernie Hayes extracts data suggesting sinister activities at Apex's Pensacola facility. Godzilla suddenly attacks the facility and Bernie stumbles on a massive device emitting a beacon during the rampage. Madison Russell, a listener to Bernie's podcast, enlists her friend Josh Valentine to investigate Godzilla's attacks. Apex CEO Walter Simmons recruits former Monarch scientist and Hollow Earth theorist Nathan Lind to guide a search for a power source into the Hollow Earth, the Titans' home world. Lind is hesitant as his brother died in a previous expedition to the Hollow Earth due to a strong reverse-gravitational effect. He agrees after Walter reveals that Apex has developed HEAVs (Hollow Earth Anti-gravitational Vehicles), specialized craft able to withstand the gravity field. Lind convinces Andrews to let Kong guide them via an entrance in Antarctica. Lind, Andrews, and an Apex team led by Walter's daughter Maia board a barge escorted by the US Navy, carrying a sedated and restrained Kong. Godzilla attacks the convoy and defeats Kong, then retreats after the ships trick him into thinking they are destroyed. Kong is airlifted to the Hollow Earth entrance, and the team follows him into the tunnel in the HEAVs. Bernie joins Madison and Josh in their investigation. They sneak into the wrecked Apex base, discover a secret underground facility, and become locked into a hyperloop transport to Apex's Hong Kong headquarters where they find a test of Mechagodzilla, which is telepathically controlled by Ren Serizawa, the son of the late Ishirō Serizawa,[d] via neural networks from the severed head of Ghidorah.[e] Walter intends to harness the Hollow Earth's energy to overcome Mechagodzilla's power supply limitations. Inside the Hollow Earth, Kong and the team find an ecosystem similar to Skull Island. In his species' ancestral throne room, they find the remains of an ancient war with Godzilla's kind and a glowing axe made from another of Godzilla's dorsal plates. Identifying the power source, the Apex team sends its signature back to their Hong Kong base despite Andrews' protests. Attracted by Mechagodzilla's activation, Godzilla arrives in Hong Kong and, sensing Kong's presence, blasts a hole through the earth with his atomic breath. After provoking him with gunfire, Maia and the Apex team's HEAV is crushed by Kong. Kong, Andrews, Jia, and Lind ascend to Hong Kong, where Kong engages Godzilla in a final battle. Godzilla emerges victorious, leaving Kong in a bradycardia state. Madison, Josh, and Bernie are caught by security and taken to Walter, who orders Ren to activate Mechagodzilla. Now possessed by Ghidorah's consciousness, Mechagodzilla kills Walter, electrocutes Ren, attacks Hong Kong, and overpowers Godzilla. Lind revives the dying Kong by detonating the HEAV on his chest, acting like a defibrillator. Jia convinces Kong to help Godzilla, who is nearly killed before Kong saves him. As Mechagodzilla overpowers both Titans, Josh momentarily short-circuits Mechagodzilla's controls with Bernie's liquor. Godzilla charges Kong's axe with his atomic breath, allowing Kong to destroy Mechagodzilla. Madison, Bernie, and Josh reunite with Madison's father, Mark, while Godzilla and Kong acknowledge each other and go their separate ways. Sometime later, Monarch establishes an observation post in Hollow Earth, where Kong now rules.
