Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack Plot Summary

What happens in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

During a briefing with the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) about the first Godzilla’s attack and death, Taizô Tachibana is alerted to a missing American nuclear submarine off Guam. Rescue teams recover wreckage and capture footage of the creature’s dorsal plates nearby, hinting that a newer threat is at large.

Tachibana’s daughter, Yuri Tachibana, teams up with her production crew to film a docudrama at Mount Myōkō. A sudden, eerie earthquake shakes the area, and a second tremor that night buries a biker gang and leaves a lone trucker who sees something subterranean stirring. Yuri’s investigator curiosity grows as her colleague Teruaki Takeda supports her theory that a monster might be responsible, gifting her a book called The Guardian Monsters to frame their investigation.
