1954

Nuclear testing in the Pacific awakens an ancient, radioactive creature that rises from the sea and levels Tokyo, impervious to every weapon the Japanese military can bring against it. As the city burns, a reclusive scientist wrestles with whether to use a discovery of his own — one terrible enough to kill the monster, and terrible enough that he fears what humanity will do with it next.
