What is 'Godzilla Minus One' about?
It's 1945, in the final days of World War II, and Kamikaze pilot Koichi Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki) lands his plane on a Japanese air base for some repairs. Suddenly, the base is ravaged by a towering, horrifying creature, and Koichi is the only survivor. He makes it home alive to find his family gone and his city destroyed during the U.S. bombing runs of Tokyo.
Racked with guilt and grief, he takes in a young woman (Minami Hamabe) and an orphaned baby while getting a new gig minesweeping out on the sea. It's there where he and others find other ships destroyed by that same terrifying beast: Godzilla. With the big brute threatening to destroy what remains of Japan, Koichi and other citizens band together to figure out how to stop the monster.
"Godzilla Minus One" is the 33rd Godzilla movie produced by Toho Co., Ltd., the Japanese entertainment outlet behind the original "Godzilla" released in 1954. The last Toho-produced live-action Godzilla movie was "Shin Godzilla" in 2016, which itself was the first Toho-produced live-action feature since "Godzilla Final Wars" in 2004.
Godzilla has conquered the Western world too, having five American-produced films to his name, including the most recent, "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire," released this March. Big 'Zilla has also starred in a few animated movies and is currently featured in the Apple TV+ series "Monarch Legacy of Monsters."
