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.

A tree is thrown at the Titan when Jia visits Kong and offers him a doll.

Meanwhile, Bernie Hayes, an employee of the Apex Cybernetics corporation and host of a Titan conspiracy theory podcast known as the Titan Truth Podcast, exfiltrates information suggesting sinister activities at a Pensacola Apex facility, but as he finished downloading the files, Godzilla arrives and unexpectedly attacks. During Godzilla's rampage, Bernie discovers a strange piece of technology resembling a giant robotic eye among the ruins of the facility.

Because Skull Island can no longer hold him (due to Kong's size), Nathan proposes using Kong as their navigator to bring them to the energy source. In the end, Ilene agrees to help halt Godzilla's rampage and locate Kong a new home when Nathan persuades her to do so.

Nathan, Ilene, Jia, and a crew from Apex commanded by Walter's daughter Maia board a customized barge with a barely drugged Kong locked up to keep him from escaping. Kong grows restless and anxious one rainy night, and begins pulling on the shackles that imprison him, but Jia calms him down by allowing her and Kong to touch fingers in solidarity as Kong signs the word "home" much to Ilene's surprise. The next day, Ilene describes to Nathan how she raised Jia as her adopted daughter when violent and unpredictable storms swept off the majority of the Iwi and her parents, but Jia was the only survivor due to Kong's protection, which resulted in the two developing a relationship.

Fortunately, as Godzilla is being shocked by deep charges, Kong is able to surface for air, thereby ending the conflict.

With no other choice, Nathan chooses to disable all the ships' power to fool Godzilla into believing he destroyed them and Kong vanquished. He swims away, satisfied with his victory, after examining the wrecked fleet. As they prepare to restart the ships, the crew decides to fly Kong to an Antarctica entrance site for the Hollow Earth, where Godzilla was initially frozen. Jia explains to Kong that his home is beyond the door, but he refuses to walk through it.

Meanwhile, Madison and Josh come into Bernie, who recognizes Madison as Mark's daughter and joins their inquiry since they suspect Apex is to blame for Godzilla's behavior shift. They slip inside the devastated Apex headquarters together, only to discover that the "eye" Bernie mentioned earlier has vanished. As they find a hidden facility deep down, the gang is mistakenly trapped and carried via an underground conduit to Hong Kong in an antigravity transport vehicle transporting Skullcrawler eggs.

As a result, it becomes clear that Walter's goal is to use the energy of the Hollow Earth to defeat Mechagodzilla. Because Apex is attempting to replace him and all the Titans so that humans may become Earth's supreme race, Godzilla attacked because of Mechagodzilla. Madison and the others stumble upon a room in which Ren is controlling the mechanical godzilla Mechagodzilla via radio waves after Apex acquired it from Alan Jonah after it was bitten off by Godzilla five years ago during his battle with Ghidorah. Ren is sitting in the severed head of Ghidorah, which has been turned into a biological supercomputer and cockpit.

Kong and Nathan's crew discover an ecology that is identical to that of Skull Island within the Hollow Earth. They are assaulted by a pair of Warbats while traversing the countryside, with one of the Warbats destroying one of the HEAVs in the process. Kong was able to rescue the party by killing the first Warbat and swinging its carcass onto the second Warbat, knocking it out cold. However, the beast recovers and constricts itself around Kong, saving him from certain death. In order for the Warbat to suffocate Kong, the creature is hit by missiles fired by Nathan's squad from their HEAV, allowing Kong to break free and savagely thrash the monster to death before feeding on the Warbat's corpse by consuming its intestines.

There, Godzilla enters the center of the city and, recognizing Kong's presence in the Hollow Earth, uses his atomic breath to bore a tunnel through the biosphere, collapsing the temple. Kong and Nathan's team fight off a flock of Hellhawks while Maia and her team attempt to flee in their HEAV, but Kong grabs it on their way out and, despite Maia's attempts to shoot him in order to escape, instantly crushes the aircraft in his hand after peeking inside to ensure Jia, Ilene, and Nathan are not inside, killing Maia and her personnel.

Godzilla recovers and rises up as he hunts for Kong atop a skyscraper. Kong ambushes Godzilla from above and puts him in a chokehold with the intention of strangling him. Despite Kong's attempts to get Godzilla off of him by striking his damaged leg, Godzilla breaks free and unleashes his entire rage on him, dislocating his left arm, slicing him with his claws, and even stomping on his chest twice. Godzilla roars angrily at Kong, his vanquished foe who is bound and pinned.

Kong jumps atop Mechagodzilla just as the robot is about to fire its red energy beam into Godzilla's neck, deflecting the beam into the air and sparing Godzilla's life. Godzilla aids Kong in his struggle against Mechagodzilla after realizing Kong saved his life and sense an ally in him after discovering he is not an opponent.

Kong sees Godzilla holding his axe and uses his atomic breath to accelerate it, allowing Kong to dismember Mechagodzilla limb by limb and remove its head before holding up his trophy and relaxing.

This is Terry Rossio's debut Godzilla film, after his unproduced script for the 1994 feature.

This is second movie featuring King Kong that Kyle Chandler has starred in, the first being Peter Jackson's 2005 remake.

Kong, like Godzilla, jumps from ship to ship in order to avoid an angel.

The scenario in which Kong leaps from ship to ship is reminiscent of a scene in which Eva Unit-02 leaps from ship to ship evading an angel, much like Godzilla.

The location of Mechagodzilla's station is similar to the Central Dogma in that it is underground and has a pyramid above it.
