Godzilla

Japan is thrown into a panic after several ships explode and sink. At first, the authorities think it is either underwater depth mines or underwater volcanic activity. The authorities soon head to Odo Island, which is close to where the ships were sunk. One night, something comes onshore and both destroys several houses and kills several people. A later expedition to the island led by paleontologist Professor Kyohei Yamane, his daughter Emiko, and young Navy frogman Hideto Ogata (who also happens to be Emiko's lover, even though she is betrothed to Dr. Daisuke Serizawa) soon discover something more devastating than imagined in the form of a 164-foot-tall (50-meter-tall) monster whom the natives call Godzilla. Now, the monster begins a rampage that threatens to destroy not only Japan, but the rest of the world as well. Can the monster be destroyed before it is too late, and what role will the mysterious Serizawa play in the battle?
