Godzilla (ゴジラ Gojira?) is a 1954 Japanese science fiction kaiju film directed by 
Ishirō Honda. The film stars Akira Takarada, Momoko Kōchi, Akihiko Hirata, Takashi 
Shimura and Haruo Nakajima, who portrayed the titular character until his 
retirement in 1972. The film is produced by Toho and features special effects by 
Eiji Tsuburaya.
The film focuses on Godzilla, a prehistoric monster resurrected by repeated nuclear 
tests in the Pacific, who ravages Japan and reignites the horrors of nuclear 
devastation to the very nation that experienced it first-hand. It was the first of 
many kaiju films released in Japan, paving the way and setting the standard for 
future kaiju films, many of which feature Godzilla.

In 1956, TransWorld Releasing Corp. released "Godzilla, King of the Monsters!", 
a heavilyre-edited "Americanized" version of the original film which featured new 
footage, featuring Canadian actor Raymond Burr, shot exclusively for its North 
American release. In 2004 Rialto Pictures gave the original a limited theatrical 
release in the United States to coincide with the original film's 50th anniversary
