Godzilla (ゴジラ?, Gojira) is a 2014 American science-fiction monster film produced by Legendary Pictures, and the twenty-ninth installment in the Godzilla series, as well as the second American Godzilla film, along with being the first in the Legendary series. The film was released to American theaters on May 16, 2014. Godzilla was awakened in 1954 by a Russian military submarine accident. Throughout the mid-1950s, the United States and Russian militaries used nuclear weapons in attempts to kill Godzilla and covered them up as military tests - thus, his existence was unknown to the public, and Godzilla survived every attempt. Years later, in 1999, Dr. Ichiro Serizawa is called to a mining site in the Philippines and, along with his assistant Dr. Vivienne Graham and a small team, finds two spores in a large underground cave. One of the spores is found already hatched and a tunnel extends to the surface from its location; the other is still unhatched and is taken to Mount Yucca and placed in the nuclear waste repository.
Days later, nuclear physicist Joe Brody and his wife Sandra Brody go to work at a nuclear power plant in the city of Janjira near Tokyo. The power plant is destroyed and breached by an explosion and radiation leak, killing Sandra and leaving Joe and their son Ford alone. 15 years after the incident, Ford is now an explosive disposal officer for the United States Navy, and is living in San Francisco with his wife Elle and son Sam. After returning home, he finds out that Joe was arrested for trespassing in the now-quarantined Janjira while looking for an explanation for the catastrophic event years ago. After Ford travels to Japan and bails him out, Joe convinces him to come with him to another trip to Janjira. They soon discover it is not radioactive and, after recovering Joe's old data and finding their old home, they are caught by security and taken to the power plant. The power plant is now a large laboratory for studying a mysterious and strange object - a chrysalis. It turns out to be the hatchling from the previously-discovered spore and, after breaking out of the chrysalis, the creature wreaks havoc on the lab, killing and injuring many of the personnel. During the chaos, Joe receives heavy wounds. After the monster flies away, the military takes Serizawa to the USS Saratoga, who requests that Joe and Ford accompany him on the way, wanting to know what they knew about the situation. Joe later dies from his injuries in the helicopter while en route to the USS Saratoga.

On the Saratoga, Serizawa and Dr. Graham explain to Ford how Godzilla came to be, as well as what the monster that attacked the plant, now referred to as a MUTO (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism), is. Ford is then taken to Honolulu, Hawaii to eventually return to San Francisco. While there, the MUTO arrives on the island, ripping apart a Russian nuclear submarine and feeding on its reactor. After being threatened by the military it sends out an Electronic Magnetic Pulse which shuts down all electronics. Ford (on a train at this time) is almost killed by the MUTO, which bites into the tracks and causes the train to derail and hang. On a different side of the city, Godzilla's arrival creates a tsunami which destroys a small coastal area. The MUTO's actions start a chain reaction that leads to mass destruction at the nearby airport, where Godzilla arrives. After a brief fight, the MUTO flies off with Godzilla pursuing him.
Serizawa reports that Godzilla showed up because he heard an echolocation signal and is hunting the MUTO. They later question why the MUTO would send out a signal. They soon realize that the other spore is still active and later find out that it has hatched. The resulting hatchling is then found to have broken out of the repository and started attacking Las Vegas. They conclude that the MUTOs are male and female and plan on nesting in San Francisco. The military proposes an idea that involves attracting the monsters to a nuclear warhead and detonating it in the ocean. Serizawa disapproves, saying that Godzilla is the only thing that could stop the MUTOs.
Ford, now on the mainland, journeys on a military train with a group of soldiers to get Elle and Sam out of San Francisco. The train had two ICBM's on it, both armed warheads which were hoped to be strong enough to kill all three monsters. The train, however, is destroyed by the female MUTO and he is left as the only survivor. The warhead is then flown by helicopter to San Francisco just as Godzilla arrives. The male MUTO arrives minutes later and steals the warhead immediately after it is armed to go off.
At this time, citizens in San Francisco are being evacuated on school buses. Elle leaves Sam with a trusted friend while she stays behind to help around. The buses then make their way out of the city through the Golden Gate bridge, where it is blocked off and is surrounded by the military. Godzilla resurfaces near the bridge, where the NAVY opens fire in an attempt to prevent him from entering the city, despite the presence of civilians on the bridge. The commotion caused by both the military and Godzilla results in the destruction of the bridge, killing many people and only leaving Sam's bus intact.
The MUTOs meet in downtown San Francisco and start building their nest. The male MUTO is attacked by Godzilla and another conflict ensues. Ford is ordered to go on a HALO drop with a team in order to retrieve the warhead from the MUTO nest and turn it off so it does not detonate in the city's center. After parachuting into the city they quickly locate the nest. The female MUTO goes to assist the male against Godzilla, giving the team the perfect time to locate the warhead. After finding it and getting out of the nest, Ford stays and destroys the nest before the eggs could hatch. This attracts the female MUTO and Ford is nearly killed, however he is saved by Godzilla, knocking her back with two strikes from his atomic breath. Godzilla then kills the male by slamming it into a building using his tail, impaling his neck on the debris. The building then collapses, pinning Godzilla underneath a pile of rubble and dust.
The team gets to the bay and realizes they cannot disarm the warhead, and devise a plan to sail it out into the ocean, far enough to not endanger the population. While loading it onto the boat, the female MUTO attacks and kills all except Ford. Ford starts to drive the boat, but he is confronted by the female. Wounded, he attempts to hold her back with his sidearm. Godzilla returns and grabs the MUTO. After a brief struggle, Godzilla directs a charged atomic ray into her throat, which causes her neck to explode, ultimately decapitating and killing her. Exhausted, Godzilla collapses in the city. Ford is rescued before the warhead detonates and reunites with Sam and Elle. Godzilla is assumed dead until he wakes up the next morning. The media acknowledges Godzilla's actions, dubbing him "King of the Monsters" and debating on his role as being the city's possible "savior". Godzilla lets out a final roar before returning to the ocean to lay dormant once again.
