Nuclear Warhead Train Scene in Godzilla (2014)

Godzilla (2014)

After it was studied for a time, the second MUTO spore was taken to the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository where it lay dormant until the male MUTO's calls awoke it from its slumber 15 years later. Bursting from the mountain, the female MUTO attacked Las Vegas as she made her way to the male. Meeting up in San Francisco, the two MUTOs exchange a stolen nuclear war head before the female begins digging a nest. Godzilla arrives in the harbor, and after a brief skirmish with the military resulting in the destruction of the Golden Gate Bridge, enters the city. Godzilla engages and kills both MUTOs while Ford Brody takes the nuclear warhead out to sea on a tour boat. While Godzilla leaves the city, relief efforts are set up to help those effected by the titan's clash.
