He comes to her rescue when a gorilla attacks Jane. Since then she puts her trust in this wild ape man as Tarzan shows her through his jungles and takes her on elephant rides.But suddenly kidnappers show up, kidnapping Jane after Tarzan gets shot! Tarzan wakes up in the train and, quickly healing, he promises that he alone will bring Jane back safely.On his quest Tarzan encounters apes, a fight for his life with a giant 6m snake and discovers a mysterious dark cave doing everything to find his beloved Jane. As Tarzan closes in on the kidnappers he takes them out one by one.
Throughout most of Tarzan's early life, Kerchak treated him with disdain and disapproval and refused to accept him as his son. Tarzan noted that he feels threatened by anyone that was different from him. Due to this, Kerchak often appears to be mistrusting, cold, judgmental, and aggressive towards outsiders. Kerchak is a large and powerful gorilla who would do anything to protect his family.
Despite his intimidating demeanor, Kerchak cares deeply about his family and was willing to risk his life to protect them. It was at that point where he had finally believed that Tarzan was his son.Before the death of his biological son, Kerchak appears to be warmer and more playful as he was seen playing with the baby gorilla, but after the child was killed by Sabor, he grew cold, bitter, and grumpy. While he was dying, Kerchak asked Tarzan to forgive him for never treating him as a member of his family and told him to take care of the tribe. However, after Tarzan saves Kerchak and his family from Sabor, Kerchak finally grew to respect him and, by the end of the film, tried to protect Tarzan from Clayton which cost him his life.
Some of the hair on his back is silver because Kerchak is a silverback gorilla (the dominant male in a gorilla family). However, he could be outmaneuvered by more agile fighters as shown when he fought against Sabor who used her superior speed and agility to gain the advantage before Tarzan intervened.Kerchak is a large, adult male gorilla with black hair and gray skin. He also seemed to have become somewhat overprotective of the gorillas following the death of his biological son, as he refused to adopt a baby Tarzan because he feared it may endanger his family, in spite of him being clearly harmless.Kerchak is a powerful fighter and his massive frame and brute strength gave him the advantage over most opponents. Kerchak then tried to comfort Kala.
Kala breaks down at the loss as Kerchak attempts to comfort her. Kala tries to continue pursuing Sabor, but Kerchak stops her, knowing that their son was gone. Overhearing the commotion, the two desperately try to save their child but fail to reach him in time as Sabor carries him off and kills him. He continues happily playing and bonding with his son but his and Kala's happiness is shattered when their baby wanders off at night and is attacked by Sabor. His eyes are brown and small in comparison to the rest of his head.Kerchak is first seen in the film alongside Kala and their baby keeping him from falling out of their nest.
Investigating, he is told by Kala that she saved him from Sabor after the bloodthirsty leopard slaughtered his parents. This, however, turns to shock when he notices baby Tarzan cradled in Kala's arms. The next morning, Kerchak leads his family onward across the jungle and looks back at a mournful Kala with an equally sad expression on his face.Eventually, Kerchak discovers that Kala is missing (she having followed the cries of a recently orphaned Tarzan) and shows great relief when she returns alive and well.
After staring at Kala for a few moments harshly, he softens his heart somewhat and allows her to keep the baby when she confirms no other humans were present. Kala refuses and questions his assertation causing Kerchak to lose his temper and roars at her, scaring both his family and Tarzan who begins crying. A shocked Kala objects, claiming he would die if returned but Kerchak stands by his judgment, telling Kala firmly he cannot allow her to place the family in danger by keeping Tarzan as he considers him dangerous.
Later when Kerchak and the rest of his family are feeding on termite mounds, a herd of elephants comes crashing through their territory, a stampede accidentally caused by Tarzan after he undertook a dare by Terk and her friends in the hopes of impressing them. The two children quickly take their leave. At that moment Terk, his and Kala's niece, hastily arrives and attempts to diffuse the situation by pretending that Tarzan was lost and lavishing Kerchak with thanks and praise as a leader for finding him, though Kerchak is not close to being amused. Kerchak then orders the family to rest for the night before looking to Kala with disapproval at her decision.Kerchak next appears in the film a few years later when an older Tarzan accidentally bumps into him whilst playing causing Kerchak to stare down at him fiercely, much to Tarzan's worry.

When Tarzan looks to him, the silverback walks away solemnly when Tarzan presents Sabor's corpse to him. Kerchak watches from a ledge as Tarzan succeeds in killing Sabor after a vicious and protracted fight and then lifts up her body and yells in triumph. After throwing Sabor off, Kerchak lies injured and almost helpless as the leopard lunges at him to deliver the killing blow, but Tarzan intervenes, kicking Sabor backward. Though appearing to have the upper hand, he is ultimately outmatched by Sabor when she claws his chest and bites into his shoulder.
Hearing the commotion caused by Terk, the other young gorillas, and Tantor at a human camp in the musical number "Trashin the camp", he heads over to investigate. When Tarzan disappears from sight, having followed the gunshots out of curiosity, Kerchak and the rest of the family search for him. When gunshots are heard in the distance, he leads the family away out of concern.
Stunned by this challenge to his authority, Kerchak warns Tarzan against visiting the humans and orders him to protect the family by staying away from them. Angered by his judgmental, unkind opinions of him, Tarzan gets into Kerchak’s face and aggressively confronts him on why he feels threatened by anything he considers different. Kerchak refuses to state that while Tarzan is willing to risk the family's safety, he is not. Tarzan urges him to reconsider saying that the newcomers mean them no harm as he has spent time with them. He then orders the family to head back into the jungle as Kala calls back Tarzan from Jane before her father and their guide Clayton arrive.Back at their home, Kerchak orders the troop to stay away from the humans, believing them to be a danger to their safety.
However, the duo accidentally leads him back to the nest and soon enough he comes crashing through the bushes in a rage. Convinced, Tarzan asks Terk and Tantor to distract Kerchak to which they reluctantly agree.Kerchak is next seen chasing Tantor and Terk dressed as Professor Porter and Jane respectively through the jungle believing them to have intruded. Eventually, Clayton, who secretly wishes to capture and sell the gorillas for profit, manipulates the situation by leading Tarzan to believe that Jane and her father would stay if they could see them. He, nonetheless, refuses initially to show them the gorillas despite their requests fearing that Kerchak would harm them if he discovered them near the troop.
