A Cold War-era kaiju film that uses Godzilla's resurrection as a vehicle for political paranoia and existential dread about nuclear annihilation.

After a fishing boat is attacked, the sole surviving crew member realizes it is none other than a resurrected Godzilla. However, efforts to bring the story to light are suppressed by the Japanese government amid growing political tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, who are both willing to bomb Japan to stop the monster.
