Mothra is a 1961 film about an expedition of scientists that explores an island previously used for atomic tests and discovers many curious things, including two women only one foot (30 centimeters) high. The unscrupulous expedition leader abducts the women and puts them in a vaudeville show. But their sweet singing contains a telepathic cry for help to Mothra, a gigantic moth that is worshiped as a deity by the island people. The giant monster heeds the call of the women and heads to Tokyo, wreaking destruction in its path.

Directed by Ishirō Honda. Written by Shinichi Sekizawa.
