The ultimate crown jewel of Toho’s classic Showa era, Destroy All Monsters is an apocalyptic, action-packed sci-fi spectacle directed by the legendary Ishirō Honda.
Set at the turn of the 21st century, the world’s giant monsters (including Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus, and Minilla) have been safely contained and studied by scientists on a secure sanctuary known as Monster Island.
Peace is shattered when a hostile alien race known as the Kilaaks invades Earth, seizing telepathic control of the beasts and unleashing them to destroy major global capitals, from New York to Tokyo. As a courageous crew of astronauts attempts to disrupt the alien control facility on the moon, Earth’s military forces must find a way to break the extraterrestrial frequency before the planet is completely leveled.
Culminating in an iconic, eleven-monster battle royal at the base of Mount Fuji, Destroy All Monsters remains one of the most ambitious and influential creature features in cinematic history.
