At the University of Vietnam, Monarch Company Agent Bill Randa is working on a project that involves injecting the DNA of a genetically altered animal into a person so that he acquires his survival skills. Bill Randa selects the former captain of the British Air Service James Conrad who is colleague and boyfriend of his daughter the pacifist photojournalist Mason Weaver.

The day of the experiment ...

It will take place at the University of Vietnam founded in honor of a supposedly deceased adventurer archaeologist. In addition to Randa and Mason, other scientists and military also attend. After a speech by Randa, he finally starts the experiment.

Bill Randa: "And without further delay ... the guinea pig James Conrad will do the demonstration."

The animal DNA chosen is the gorilla, altered DNA that was already injected into Conrad.

Bill Randa: "We selected DNA from a gorilla because it is related to us, but to complete the process we will use this device called Evolvo-Ray that will make our colleague Conrad acquire the skills of an ape."

Conrad sits on a chair and prepares to be exposed to the ray of Evolvo-Ray. Bill will watch a bit far away with his daughter.

Mason Weaver: "Promise me you'll be fine."

Bill Randa: "I promise."

Mason does not stop looking at James, he winks at the sign that everything will be fine ... but the opposite is true.

The experiment fails ... and the beam transforms James into a huge and authentic muscular gorilla with black fur that has a superhuman strength and strength. Many people get scared and James (transformed into a gorilla) attacks all those present killing and injuring many people and destroying everything in their path.

It also accidentally wounds Mason and Randa, an officer makes an attempt to confront the gorilla but in one blow the gorilla kills him. The Gorilla tries to make himself Mason but Randa with little force prevents it ... after that the gorilla escapes and causes damage throughout Vietnam.

After a few days James returns to become a human discovering that the effect of becoming a gorilla only lasts for brief periods of time and also only when he gets angry.

After learning what he did, James goes to a hospital to see Mason who is still in a coma but alive. The news of the attack of the giant ape spread throughout the world. Despite the fact that James would stay with Maso, Randa arrived and forbade him to see his daughter threatening him with arresting him.

But at that moment Mason wakes up and notices that Randa is attacking James.

Randa is glad to see that Mason is fine, but this neglect is taken advantage of by James who flees from the hospital and later from Vietnam.

After that, Randa hunts James who gives him the name of Kong ... he chases him all over the United States and in every city that James arrives he always mocks him. Randa acquires weapons from the Black Pearl and permits Vito Corleone to use his agents, but James moves quickly. Randa becomes deranged by failing on each mission and will not rest until he finds James or I should say to Kong.
