The film tells the story of Godzilla, a giant monster mutated by nuclear radiation, who ravages Japan, bringing back the horrors of nuclear war to a country that experienced it first hand. In 1956, a heavily edited version was released in the U.S. as Godzilla, King of the Monsters . The original Japanese-language version is now available in the United States and Britain under the title Gojira. It was the first of many kaiju films released in Japan and the first that paved the way and set the standards for future Kaiju films, many of which also feature Godzilla.
