Godzilla is an American film franchise inspired by the iconic Japanese monster created by Toho. The story follows the emergence of Godzilla, a colossal creature awakened by human activity and nuclear testing, serving as both a threat and a protector against other massive monsters known as Titans. Depending on the adaptation, Godzilla is either an uncontrollable force of destruction or a natural balancer against even more dangerous creatures like King Ghidorah or MUTO. The saga explores themes of human arrogance, the consequences of unchecked science, and the struggle for survival. With stunning visual effects and epic battles, the Godzilla films have modernized the kaiju icon for an international audience while honoring its Japanese legacy.
