The makers of Independence Day return with a big-budget makeover of the Japanese monster movies. Godzilla is a huge reptilian monster, a terrible genetic mutation caused by the French nuclear tests in the Pacific. Making her way to New York, the amphibian terror threatens the city with complete destruction. Scientist Niko Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick), a TV reporter (Maria Pitillo) and a team of French special agents (including Jean Reno) are the Big Apple's only hope as an even more horrific scenario unfolds: Godzilla is planning to have babies.
