[ Story ]

The final entry in this classic series that spans fifty years, directed by new-wave action specialist Kitamura Ryuhei (Versus, Azumi).
After a succession of wars and nuclear tests, our planet has given birth to numerous giant beasts, and the Earth Defense Forces are responsible for protecting humanity from them. When the creatures begin attacking cities all over the world, fierce battles ensue and their sheer numbers overwhelm attempts to stop them. Suddenly a giant UFO appears and destroys the attackers with an energy beam. The craft's pilots, an alien race called the Xillians, enter into an alliance with humankind, but are actually carrying out a secret plot to turn the people of Earth into their chattel. The Earth Defense Forces finally see through the Xillians' deception, upon which the giant monsters resume their onslaught at the behest of the aliens. As a last resort, the humans awaken the radioactive fire-breathing Godzilla, who they have imprisoned beneath the Arctic ice. The giant lizard defeats the monsters one by one and ultimately turns on the Earth Defense Forces, but is stopped by the pleas of his diminutive kin, Minira, and the two retreat into the sea together.
