The two biggest monsters of all time battle in this thrilling 1962 adventure classic. An underhanded pharmaceutical company goes to a remote tropical island to steal King Kong for advertising purposes while a submarine crew inadvertently unleashes Godzilla from a block of ice far below the sea. When both destructive monsters descend on Tokyo, it’s a fight that holds the future of mankind in the balance.
