What Is ‘Godzilla’ About?
A reimagining of the classic Japanese kaiju story,the film brings back the King of the Monsters to the big screen. As the film begins, a catastrophic incident at a Japanese nuclear plant in 1999 leads to the death of Sandra Brody (Juliette Binoche), sparking an obsessive quest for the truth in her husband, Joe Brody (Cranston). Fifteen years later, Joe’s son, Ford (Taylor-Johnson), a Navy officer, reluctantly joins him in investigating the plant, discovering that the disaster was caused by a giant creature,the MUTO (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism).
The MUTO, which feeds on radiation, awakens and wreaks havoc, prompting the emergence ofGodzilla, an ancient alpha predatordrawn by a primal instinct to restore balance. As the MUTO and Godzilla clash, humanity’s efforts to stop the destruction prove futile. The battle culminates in San Francisco, where Godzilla defeats the MUTOs and retreats into the ocean, leaving behind a world in awe of the powerful, mysterious titan.
