Legends collide in "Godzilla vs. Kong" as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the world. The epic clash between the two titans, instigated by unseen forces, is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.

Godzilla and Kong are currently the only active Titans on Earth in 2024, five years after fighting and killing his extraterrestrial nemesis Ghidorah for dominance in 2019. The climate on Skull Island has become unstable as a result of Ghidorah's storm combining with the storm cell that surrounds the island all the time, forcing Monarch to confine Kong inside a dome-shaped facility that simulated the island's environment, with an orphaned young Iwi girl named Jia, who is deaf and can communicate with Kong via sign language, providing him company.

When Jia visits Kong and presents him a doll, a tree is hurled at him.

Apex founder and CEO Walter Simmons enlists former Monarch scientist turned Hollow Earth theorist Nathan Lind in their search for a powerful energy source. As Nathan's brother tried to investigate the Hollow Earth, he was murdered by a tremendous anti-gravity field inside the tube. Walter reveals that Apex has created Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicles, which are customized ships that can withstand the gravity field's pressure.

Nathan travels to Skull Island, where he meets his colleague, Monarch anthropological linguist and Jia's adoptive mother Ilene Andrews. Nathan proposes that they use Kong as their navigator to guide them to the Hollow Earth, as Skull Island is no longer able to contain him (because Kong has grown too large) and allow him to survive. Ilene Andrews agrees, and the two of them set out to find the energy source. Though Ilene initially refuses, explaining that Godzilla would come for Kong as soon as he was moved off of Skull Island, she eventually agrees after being persuaded by Nathan that they must undertake this mission in order to halt Godzilla's rampage and that they can also find Kong a new home on the mainland.

Boarding a customized boat with a light-sedated Kong locked up to keep him from escaping. That night, Kong gets restless and anxious, but Jia soothes him by enabling her and Kong to hold fingers in solidarity as Kong signs the word "home", surprising Ilene. The following day, Ilene tells Nathan how she adopted Jia when violent and unpredictable storms killed most of the Iwi and her parents, but Jia was the sole survivor since Kong protected her, leading to their relationship.

Titan attacks the army and caps the barge, just avoiding drowning Kong and the other passengers. Ultimately, Nathan manages to save the passengers by loosening Kong's chains and allowing him to swim to the surface and flip the barge, freeing him from his captor's grasp. On a nearby aircraft ship, Godzilla joins Kong in combat. Fighter planes must divert Godzilla long enough so that Kong can force him back into the ocean. Godzilla snatches Kong by the tail and drags him into the ocean, where he intends to drown him in an attempt to evade the atomic bomb.

However, when Godzilla is paralyzed by deep charges, Kong is able to surface for air, thereby breaking off their combat.

Knowing Kong won't survive in the cold and that they won't be able to return him to Skull Island, Nathan asks Ilene if Kong will go if he thinks there are others like him down there, and she tells Jia to ask Kong about his family, prompting the Titan to enter the tunnel and the teams to follow him in their HEAVs.

In that location, the three disembark and find themselves inside a vast dark chamber, where they come across Apex's ultimate weapon, "Mechagodzilla" a mechanized counterpart of Godzilla controlled by Dr. Ishiro Serizawa's son, Walter's chief technology officer Ren Serizawa, who is also Walter's chief technology officer. As soon as Mechagodzilla is launched, Walter releases a gigantic adult Skullcrawler designated "Number 10" into the chamber in order to put the mecha's might against the Titans to the ultimate test. Madison, Josh, and Bernie are on the verge of being attacked by the Skullcrawler when it is grabbed and restrained by Mechagodzilla, who uses a powerful red energy beam to cleave the Skullcrawler in half, allowing Madison, Josh, and Bernie to take refuge in a small hatch. However, because to the restrictions of the power source, the test is cut short when the mecha shuts down immediately after the conclusion of the exam.

It is then revealed that Walter intends to harness the power of the Hollow Earth's energy to overcome Mechagodzilla's limitations. In the end, Madison realizes that Apex is trying to get rid of Godzilla and all the Titans so that humans can be the Earth's apex species. In the middle of looking for an exit, Madison and the other people find themselves in a room where Ren is sitting inside the severed head of Ghidorah. The head has been turned into a biological supercomputer and cockpit for Ren to control the robot through radio waves, which he can use to control Mechagodzilla. It was bitten off by Godzilla five years ago during his fight with Ghidorah.

It looks like Skull Island inside the Hollow Earth. They are walking through the countryside when they are attacked by a pair of Warbats. One of them destroys one of the HEAVs, but the other doesn't. When the first Warbat was killed, Kong swung its body into the second one, which knocked it out, but the creature came back and wrapped itself around him. This gives Kong a chance to get away from the Warbat. The creature is then hit with missiles from Nathan's team in their HEAV, giving Kong a chance to break free and beat the Warbat to death before eating its internal parts.

Kong and Godzilla both heal and get back on their feet, with Godzilla on the prowl for Kong, who has taken refuge atop a building to avoid the Titan's attention. When Kong throws a construction crane into a building, it distracts Godzilla to the point where he ambushes him from above and places the Titan in a chokehold with the intent of strangling him, only for Godzilla to break free and unleash his full fury on Kong, eventually dislocating his left arm, slashing Kong with his claws, and even stomping on his chest twice, despite Kong's attempts to force Godzilla off of him by punching his wounded thigh The vanquished Kong fiercely roars in defiance against Godzilla after being restrained and held down by the monstrous monster in a display of dominance.

Godzilla is so taken aback by Kong's power and expertise that he spares his life before walking away, leaving him alive but seriously injured in the process.

Back at the Apex headquarters, Walter enthusiastically instructs Ren to dispatch Mechagodzilla to slay Godzilla. Despite Ren's warnings not to use the new Hollow Earth energy source without first testing it, Walter dismisses his concerns and orders the mecha to be activated. At the same time, security apprehends Bernie, Madison, and Josh for breaking into Apex headquarters and transports them to Walter. Madison accuses Walter of inciting Godzilla to war and for all of this to happen in the first place, however he boldly argues that he took responsibility for allowing humans to fight back against Godzilla and the Titans.

Mechagodzilla, unaware that Walter's back is turned as he rants about his invention, goes crazy under the influence of both the energy source and Ghidorah's brain networks, murdering Walter with a sweep of its palm and electrocuting Ren. Mechagodzilla, now possessed by Ghidorah's mind, escapes the Apex facility under Victoria Peak Mountain and rampages over the city before being confronted by Godzilla. When Mechagodzilla comes into touch with Godzilla, it launches a volley of missiles at its biological counterpart before engaging in combat.

While Josh and Bernie try in vain to disable the ravaging robot remotely and Madison calls on Mark for assistance, Godzilla and Mechagodzilla fight, with Godzilla tiring from his earlier battle against Kong, but Mechagodzilla eventually gets the better of the fight, knocking Godzilla over and burning him. While Mechagodzilla proceeds to overpower and seriously beat Godzilla, Nathan, Ilene, and Jia approach an unconscious Kong, where Jia notices a slowing of his pulse. In order to restart Kong's heart, Ilene tells Nathan that they can't produce a charge large enough to do so, but Nathan, remembering what Maia said earlier about the HEAVs producing a charge big enough to power Las Vegas for seven days, detonates the craft and releases a huge electrical charge, which instantly revives Kong...

Kong watches Godzilla battle Mechagodzilla on his way to visit Jia. Kong first doubts Jia as he sees Godzilla smash Mechagodzilla, but Jia ultimately reveals that the robot is the "real" danger. Before joining the battle to help Godzilla with his dislocated leg, Kong accepts and puts his animosity aside.

Later, Monarch erected an observatory in the Hollow Earth. When Nathan and Jia happen to get a glimpse of Kong on his morning ramble, Ilene and Nathan are the first to notice him. Kong rushes onto a cliff, banging his chest and embracing Jia as his new home and realm in his screaming proclamation of himself as King of the Hollow Earth.

Godzilla vs. Kong, according to the reviewers' consensus, "Delivering squarely on its title, Godzilla vs. Kong swats away character development and human drama to deliver all the spectacle you'd expect from giant monsters slugging it out."

Since 1962's King Kong vs. Godzilla, this is the first time Godzilla and King Kong have appeared in a film together in 59 years.

This film is Terry Rossio's first Godzilla film after his unproduced screenplay for the unmade 1994 film.

Kyle Chandler has been in two King Kong films, the first of which was Peter Jackson's 2005 remake, and this is his second appearance in the franchise.

Chandler's presence in King Kong, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Kong establishes him as the only actor to appear in a King Kong picture, a Godzilla film, and a Godzilla crossover feature.
