Synopsis :
In 1954, a large creature is discovered in the Pacific Ocean. In an attempt to kill it, the United States attacks it with a nuclear weapon.[b] In 1999, Project Monarch scientists Ishiro Serizawa and Vivienne Graham investigate a mine in the Philippines where a collapse has uncovered a colossal skeleton. Two egg-shaped pods are discovered and one has hatched and escaped to the sea. InJapan, the Janjira nuclear plant experiences unusual seismic activity. Plant supervisor Joe Brody sends his wife Sandra and a team into the core to check the sensors. When the team is inside, an explosion occurs, threatening to release radiation to the outside. Sandra and her team are unable to escape, and the plant collapses into ruin. The disaster, attributed to an earthquake, results in the quarantine of the Janjira area.

Fifteen years later, Joe's son Ford is an United States Navy explosive ordnance disposal officer, living in San Francisco with his wife and son. After Joe is arrested for trespassing in the quarantined area, Ford travels to Japan. Once there, Joe reveals he has evidence of a cover-up of the true cause of the disaster and convinces Ford to accompany him to their old home to retrieve vital seismic data he recorded before the plant's collapse. They are captured and taken to a facility within the plant's ruins, where Serizawa is leading a study of a massive chrysalis. A colossal winged creature emerges, destroying the facility in its escape. Joe is wounded and later dies. Serizawa, Graham and Ford join a U.S. Navy strike force led by Admiral William Stenz on the aircraft carrierUSS Saratoga (CVN-88) to track the creature, identified as a MUTO (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism).
The scientists reveal that an ancient alpha predator, known as Gojira, was awoken by a 1954 deep sea expedition and the early nuclear tests were attempts to kill it. The creature was from an age when radiation levels were higher and fed off the radiation. As the earth's radiation subsided, they moved underground. Monarch was formed to secretly study Gojira and others like it. Ford reveals that Joe had tracked a form of echolocation from Janjira, indicating the MUTO was communicating with something else.
A U.S. Army Special Forces team finds the wreckage of a Russian nuclear submarine in a forest near Honolulu and finds the MUTO feeding on its reactor. At the airport, Ford is waiting for a flight home when the military attacks the MUTO and a battle ensues. Godzilla arrives, causing a giant wave that devastates Honolulu. After a brief scuffle with Godzilla, the MUTO flies away. In Nevada, the second Philippines pod, believed to be dead, has hatched into a larger, female MUTO which escapes and destroys Las Vegas. The scientists conclude that the two creatures will meet to breed.
The Navy strike force tails Godzilla and determines the monsters will meet in San Francisco Bay. Stenz approves a plan to kill all three monsters with a nuclear warhead, over the objections of the scientists, who claim that Godzilla can destroy the MUTOs. A train —loaded with two warheads— heads to San Francisco, but is destroyed by the female MUTO, which consumes one of the warheads. The other warhead is airlifted to San Francisco, where it is put on a boat and armed. The male MUTO steals the warhead and the female constructs a nest around it in downtown San Francisco.
Godzilla makes his appearance in San Francisco Bay, where he is confronted by the military on the Golden Gate Bridge. After the military fails, Stenz agrees to let the monsters fight. During the battle, Ford and a team of soldiers attempt to disarm the warhead in the MUTO's nest, entering the city by HALO jump. Unable to disarm the damaged warhead, they take it to a boat for disposal at sea. Ford destroys the nest, distracting the female from the fight. Godzilla kills the male by smashing it into a skyscraper. At the dock, the female kills the team at the boat, and is about to kill Ford, only to be stopped by Godzilla. Godzilla kills the female MUTO using his atomic breath and beheads her before collapsing. Ford gets the boat out to sea and is rescued just before the warhead detonates. In the aftermath, Ford is reunited with his wife and son. Godzilla, thought to be dead, suddenly awakens and lets out one final roar, heading out to sea as he is hailed as "King of the Monsters" and the city's savior.
