25 Photos That Show What It Would Be Like If 'Godzilla' Tore Through The US Today

Forget what you know about the 1998 “Godzilla” movie from Sony.

For those unfamiliar with the original 1954 “Godzilla,” the movie introduces a monster mutated from a nuclear reaction.

The reboot brings the creature back to its roots.

He serves as a metaphor of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki near World War II’s end.

... and the dangers of nuclear weapons.

Director Gareth Edwards' goal was to show off a monster that no one can control or communicate with.

“How would the world react?,” says Edwards. “We’ve all seen or experienced incomprehensible disasters, natural or otherwise, that would seem like a scenario from a movie if they didn’t actually happen.”

Ken Watanabe plays Japanese scientist Dr. Ishiro Serizawa who is on the trail of the monster in the Philippines in 1999.

At the same time, a series of tremors in Janjira, Japan, near a local nuclear power plant, are being attributed to “earthquakes.”

Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston), a nuclear engineer at the plant, isn’t convinced that's true after finding odd sound patterns in the tremors.

The plant gets destroyed and the town is evacuated and quarantined due to a possible radiation leak.

15 years later, Brody is still trying to track down what he believes is the real source of those tremors so many years ago because he thinks something bad is going to happen again.

He enlists his grown son Ford (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a Naval officer, to help him break into the quarantined city to uncover the truth.

They end up finding much more than they bargain for.

They come across a monster that escapes and starts wrecking havoc in Hawaii.

Waikiki's Grand Hotel gets submerged under water.

Las Vegas gets torn apart.

So long Caesar's Palace.

Bye Lady Liberty replica.

The Golden Gate Bridge isn't safe in San Francisco either.

The city's in pretty bad shape.

Soon the Navy and military step in.

Ford volunteers to help on the front lines to protect mankind.

That may mean using a nuclear weapon to rid of the monster.

However, the 355-foot tall Godzilla may not be what everyone should really be afraid of in the film.

Now that you know what to expect from "Godzilla" ...
