Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sally Hawkins star in this science fiction reimagining of the 1954 Japanese film about the destruction caused by a giant monster. When a devastating event is covered up as a natural disaster, nuclear physicist Joe Brody (Cranston) realises something much more sinister is to blame. Scientists Dr.
Ichiro Serizawa (Watanabe) and Dr. Vivienne Graham (Hawkins) reveal that in 1954 a powerful monster was awakened and though ´nuclear tests´ were carried out in the Pacific Ocean to destroy it, the creature has now returned. With the US Armed Forces, including Joe´s son Navy Lieutenant Ford Brody (Taylor-Johnson), called into action, humanity fights for its survival.
The cast also includes Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche and David Strathairn
