Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sally Hawkins star in this reimagining of the 1954 Japanese film about the destruction caused by a giant monster.

When a devastating event is covered up as a natural disaster, nuclear physicist Joe Brody realises something much more sinister is to blame. Scientists Dr. Ichiro Serizawa and Dr. Vivienne Graham reveal that in 1954 a powerful monster was awakened and though 'nuclear tests' were carried out in the Pacific Ocean to destroy it, the creature has now returned.

With the US Armed Forces, including Joe's son Navy Lieutenant Ford Brody, called into action, humanity fights for its survival.

This French thriller has petty thief and street hustler Alex (Denis Lavant) plotting to steal a new miracle cure for an AIDS-like virus on behalf of his gangster friend Marc (Michel Piccoli). This attracts the notice of a mysterious American woman who also wants the serum.
