Godzilla
Size does matter.
Directed by Roland Emmerich
Produced by TriStar Pictures, Independent Pictures
A high-octane creature-feature action thriller centered on military efforts to contain and destroy a radioactive giant monster rampaging through New York City.
French nuclear tests irradiate an iguana into a giant monster that viciously attacks freighter ships in the Pacific Ocean. A team of experts, including Niko Tatopoulos, conclude that the oversized reptile is the culprit. Before long, the giant lizard is loose in Manhattan as the US military races to destroy the monster before it reproduces and it's spawn takes over the world.
