GODZILLA ZERO HOUR begins months after Gamera 3
left Kaiju fans hanging without closure. After a fierce battle, the Gyaos swarm
had been all but obliterated by the shocking self destruction of Gamera in a
last attempt to end their reign of terror. The victory is bittersweet, however
as the apparent death of Gamera has caused an imbalance in the mana system.
Giant monsters (Kaiju), have become a common occurrence, wreaking havoc across
the globe. Despite the chaos, a new form of thrill seeking has garnered an
underground following- like storm chasers, these groups of young people chase
down not tornadoes but kaiju, hoping to sell their amateur footage for a lofty
price to the major news corporations who are too afraid to get close.
Lucas Ballard (Bob Keith), Casey Hartright (Alex Berg), and A.J. Smith (Michael
Royer) are three such individuals. And just when their insane business scheme
begins to take off, they find themselves in the middle of an interstellar war!
Suddenly remerging is the Legion swarm, and this time they've developed a
bizarre appetite for flesh! As the swarm begins to march, they are met with
force by a new creature- seemingly sent in a giant meteorite from another world,
called Gigan. As the death toll rises, and Gigan's battles with Legion level
city after city, it becomes apparent that it wasn't sent from space to save
humanity from Legion, but to stop Legion from migrating at any cost!
Meanwhile, in lieu of the
destruction at hand, reports of fishing boats going missing are being over
looked. Mass quantities of sea life are washing up on the shore dead. The ocean
begins to boil... Then, one night during the brunt of a thunderstorm a massive
creature unseen since it was thought killed in 1984 lumbers out of the depths
and unto American soil. Godzilla Returns.
