“The best Godzilla in thirty years…hysterical fun.”
-Joel Siegel, Good Morning America
Just when you thought it was safe to return to Tokyo, the world’s favorite fire-breathing monster, Godzilla, has been reborn to once again wreak havoc upon a city still recovering from his last stroll downtown, way back in 1958.
Godzilla’s all-new adventure begins when strange atomic explosions near an uncharted island cause a passing ship to lose control. The crew is found in a horrible state of decay, and after amassing the evidence, the scientists conclude that the Big Guy is back, wants to feed off a nuclear power plant, and is making a beeline toward the business district.
The great RAYMOND BURR reprised his role as journalist Steve Martin, once again caught in Godzilla’s destructive path.
