Plot
When a captain of the Imperial German Navy regains consciousness on the shores of Skull Island in 1917, he is not entirely sure if he is still alive. All around him are the remains of his U-boat and crew, and he remembers the carnage of a battle before seeking safety in the water. Just as he steps foot into the sea, a giant tentacled reptile emerges, looking down on him. He stands in awe for a moment before surviving members of his crew begin to fire on the creature with the remains of the ship's mounted guns. They blow off the creature's head as the captain runs toward them. Despite his hesitancy, they look to him for orders. With little food, weapons, or ammunition left, as well as an incoming tide, he orders them to take what they can and begin climbing the steep cliff face. He hopes to lead the crew to safety on higher ground, and remembers climbing the Alps in his youth before a thunderous noise disturbs the company. They scramble to shelter within a cave in the rock face, but soon see the cave's mouth briefly blocked off by some gargantuan creature. A soldier volunteers to check it out, but is quickly swept up by the beast. The captain cautiously makes his way to the opening, flashing back to the U-boat's capsizing as a great pair of brown eyes peer into their hiding place. He edges out further, listening to the volunteer getting eaten before finding himself looking up at the gargantuan face of Kong.
