The roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. A 400-foot fire-breathing kaiju comes to life in the wake of nuclear testing and makes a beeline for an unsuspecting Tokyo, causing unwanted destruction along its path. Presented in its original Japanese version, this undisputed classic is a remarkably humane and poignant film, made at a time when Japan was still recovering from WWII. Presented in a new restoration with subtitles.
