Varan the Unbelievable

Following in the wake of Godzilla and Rodan, Toho and director Ishiro Honda unleashed Varan, another monstrous manifestation of nature’s wrath. When they travel to a remote region of Japan to investigate the mysterious deaths of a pair of butterfly researchers, a reporter (Ayumi Sonoda) and a scientist (Kozo Nomura) discover the titular prehistoric reptile, who rises from a lake and proceeds to rampage his way toward Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.
