A colorful 1960s tokusatsu adventure pitting a rogue WWII captain's atomic submarine against a fantastical undersea empire, blending nationalist militarism with pulp sci-fi spectacle.

The legendary empire of the lost continent of Mu reappears to threaten the world with domination. While countries unite to resist, an isolated World War II Captain has created the greatest warship ever seen, and possibly the surface world's only defense.
