An international U.S.–Japanese military team sets up a base on a remote Japanese island to develop a cheap seawater desalination method. Their tests disturb the lake’s depths, awakening the ancient monster Obaki, which then attacks Japan. The film, made by a U.S. studio, uses monster footage and scenes from Toho’s 1958 Japanese kaiju movie “Daikaiju Varan.”
