Our take
In 1954, a cinematic icon was born—and with it the longest-running franchise in film history. Commingling a somber reckoning with Japan’s devastating nuclear past with pioneering miniature work and creature effects, Ishirō Honda’s Godzilla is the giant-monster movie before which all others must bow.
