Shin Godzilla Plot

Make way for the ultimate homage to one of the most enduring legends of the big screen—Godzilla! The King of the Monsters is back in Tokyo for a city-crushing crusade that speaks to the very roots of the world-renowned franchise.

It’s a peaceful day in Japan when a strange fountain of water erupts in the bay, causing panic to spread among government officials. At first, they suspect only volcanic activity, but one young executive dares to wonder if it may be something different… something alive. His worst nightmare comes to life when a massive, gilled monster emerges from the deep and begins tearing through the city, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. As the government scrambles to save the citizens, a rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster’s weakness and its mysterious ties to a foreign superpower. But time is not on their side—the greatest catastrophe to ever befall the world is about to evolve right before their very eyes.

Acclaimed writer/director Hideaki Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion) and special effects director extraordinaire Shinji Higuchi (Attack on Titan, FX for the Gamera Trilogy) team up for the latest incarnation of Godzilla from Toho.

With an overhauled production team, these filmmakers will combine their impressive talents to call back Godzilla's most frightening atomic roots and, deliver the greatest and worst nightmare to everyone.
