The second Godzilla film of the Heisei era following the success of THE RETURN OF GODZILLA introduces one of the franchise’s most intriguing and unique monsters: Biollante, a genetically engineered mutant hybridized from the cells of a rose, a woman, and Godzilla himself. Can the King of Monsters defeat an evolved version of himself? Boasting some of the best special effects of the series and exploring provocative ideas surrounding biotechnology, GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE stands as a highlight of the Heisei-era films.
