Destroy All Monsters

Plot[edit | edit source] At the end of the 20th century, all of the Earth's giant monsters have been collected by the United Nations Science Committee (UNSC) and confined in an area known as Monsterland, located in the Ogasawara island chain. A special control center is constructed underneath the island to ensure that the monsters stay secure and to serve as a research facility to study them. When communications with Monsterland are suddenly and mysteriously severed, and all of the monsters begin attacking world cities, Dr. Yoshida of the UNSC orders captain Katsuo Yamabe and the crew of his spaceship, Moonlight SY-3, to investigate Monsterland. There, they discover that the scientists, led by Dr. Otani, have become mind-controlled slaves of a feminine extraterrestrial race identifying themselves as the Kilaaks, who reveal that they are in control of the monsters. Their leader demands that the human race surrender, or face total annihilation. Godzilla attacks New York City, Rodan attacks Moscow, Mothra attacks Beijing, Gorosaurus attacks Paris, and Manda attacks London. The attacks were set in to motion to draw attention away from Japan, so that the Kilaaks can establish an underground stronghold near Mount Fuji. The Kilaaks then turn their next major attack onto Tokyo and, without serious opposition, become arrogant in their aims until the UNSC discover, after recovering the Kilaaks' monster mind-control devices from around the world, that they have switched to broadcasting the control signals from their base under the Moon's surface. In a desperate battle, the crew of the SY-3 destroys the Kilaak's lunar outpost and returns the Kilaak control system to Earth. With all of the monsters under the control of the UNSC, the Kilaaks call King Ghidorah, who is dispatched to protect the Kilaak stronghold, battling Godzilla, Minilla, Mothra, Rodan, Manda, Gorosaurus, Anguirus, Kumonga, Baragon and Varan. While seemingly invincible, Ghidorah is eventually overpowered by the combined strength of the Earth monsters and is killed. Refusing to admit defeat, the Kilaaks produce their ace, a burning monster they call the Fire Dragon, which begins to torch Tokyo and destroys the control center on Ogasawara. Suddenly, Godzilla attacks and destroys the Kilaaks' underground base, revealing that the Earth's monsters instinctively know who their enemies are. Yamabe then pursues the Fire Dragon in the SY-3 and narrowly achieves victory for the human race. The Fire Dragon is revealed to be a flaming Kilaak UFO and is destroyed. With the Kilaaks defeated, Godzilla and the other monsters eventually return to Monsterland to live in peace.
