The ocean`s surface boils white-hot and a Japanese freighter mysteriously vanishes in the Pacific. Rescue boats meet the same fate, and the superstitious villagers of Odo Island fear an ancient legend has come true: the legend of Godzilla! Reawakened from eons-long sleep by an H-homb test, the behemoth seeks revenge on the civilized world, turning Tokyo into a wasteland of atomic fire and rubble. Caught in the monster's path of destruction are young lovers Emiko and Ogata, who must betray their friend Dr. Serizawa, a brilliant but tormented scientist, in order to save the world. Classic Media presents the original and uncut Japanese-language version of Ishiro Honda's GOJIRA (1954), critically acclaimed as a bold anti-nuclear allegory and one of the greatest monster movies of all time. Also included on a 2nd DVD is GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS (1956), the popular "Americanized" version starring Raymond Burr as a reporter covering Godzilla's rampage.
