“Incredible, unstoppable titan of terror!”

Science FictionHorror

During an assignment, foreign correspondent Steve Martin spends a layover in Tokyo and is caught amid the rampage of an unstoppable prehistoric monster the Japanese call 'Godzilla'. The only hope for both Japan and the world lies on a secret weapon, which may prove more destructive than the monster itself.

VIBE

A chilling, stark vision of atomic dread. This film feels like a primal scream against the horrors of nuclear war, with Tokyo facing an unstoppable force of nature. It’s a stark, terrifying classic.
