Info

Description

Japanese ships start disappearing in the ocean. All that's left of them are torn radiograms reporting pillars of flame erupting from the ocean. Soon the cause of these incidents comes to light. That's right, it comes out on its own paws. It's a 50-meter ancient lizard, awakened by American nuclear weapons tests in the ocean. It begins to destroy everything in its path, and now danger threatens not only Japan, but the entire world.
