A nuclear explosion sets off a massive earthquake. An
astronaut on a reconnaissance mission notices that the epicenter of the
earthquake appears to be moving straight towards the heart of Korea. This is no
ordinary earthquake - the legendary reptilian monster Yongary has been awakened
by intense radiation. With martial law declared and the city evacuated, the army
and air force battle the fearsome creature with tanks and rockets, but their
weapons are useless. Ilo, a brilliant scientist and his precocious
eight-year-old sidekick Icho must desperately attempt to devise a plan to save
the city and defeat Yongary, the monster from the deep.
'Yongary' was Korea's first entry into the kaiju movie genre.
Although it drew heavily on the imagery and storyline of 'Godzilla,'
'Yongary' retained a unique regional feel that continues to impress
viewers today
