Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (ゴジラ・モスラ・キングギドラ 大怪獣総攻撃 Gojira, Mosura, Kingu Gidora: Daikaijū Sōkōgeki?, also known as GMK) is a 2001 Japanese science fiction tokusatsu kaiju film featuring Godzilla, produced and distributed by Toho. It is the 26th film in the Godzilla franchise, the 25th Godzilla film produced by Toho, and the third film in the Millennium series. The film is directed by Shūsuke Kaneko, written by Kaneko, Keiichi Hasegawa, and Masahiro Yokotani, and stars Chiharu Niiyama, Ryudo Uzaki, Masahiro Kobayashi, Takashi Nishina, Kaho Minami, Shinya Owada, Kunio Murai, Hiroyuki Watanabe, Shingo Katsurayama, Takeo Nakahara, Toshikazu Fukawa and Hideyo Amamoto. Like the other Millennium films, this is a direct follow-up to the original Godzilla film and ignores the events of the Shōwa and Heisei series.
During a meeting of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) for the potential return of Godzilla, Admiral Taizo Tachibana briefs cadets about Godzilla's first attack. A nuclear submarine is reported missing, which is later found to have been destroyed by Godzilla. Tachibana's daughter, Yuri Tachibana films a docudrama with her crew at Mt. Myoko, where a mysterious earthquake randomly ensues. The odd earthquake returns later that night burying a biker gang and leaving one surviving trucker who witnesses the monster, Baragon.
