About Destroy All Monsters

With Destroy All Monsters the original Godzilla team of director Ishiro Honda, special-effects supervisor Eiji Tsuburaya, and composer Akira Ifukube reunited for this kaiju extravaganza. Set in the remote future of 1999, when the people of Earth have achieved world peace by confining destructive creatures to Monsterland (until an alien race intervenes), Destroy All Monsters mounts a thrilling display of innovative action sequences and memorable images that have made it a favorite for generations of viewers, considered by many to be one of the greatest Godzilla movies of all time.

1968, 89 minutes. In Japanese with English subtitles. This film is appropriate for all ages.
