“Nothing like it ever before! The fantastic war of the giant fire monsters!”

Tsukioka (Hiroshi Koizumi) and Kobayashi (Minoru Chiaki) just want to do their jobs, but two prehistoric creatures, Gigantis and Angurus, wake from their long sleep and bring an ancient rivalry into Japan. Dr. Yamane (Takashi Shimura) and Dr. Tadokoro (Masao Shimizu) study what the monsters are. Hugo Grimaldi and Motoyoshi Oda's English-dubbed cut sets the battle on Japanese soil, where everyone in its path has everything to lose.
