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.

Emergency sirens blare on Batavia Island off the coast of Northern California. United World News reporter Jack Martin, his wife, Kaori, and his colleague Mitch Lawrence run out of a building and into a fleeing mob as cries for help fill the air. In the chaos, a large explosion echoes in the background, illuminating the silhouette of Anguirus. They flee from the creature, with Mitch reporting that there are two Anguirus in the area. Jack kisses Kaori before he runs off to pursue the rampaging pack. The Anguirus pack, now known to be two adults and one offspring, move deeper into the city, with Jack following. The next morning, Jack runs down an empty street only for the building behind him to collapse and reveal a skull-faced Anguirus. The monster hears Godzilla's roar in the distance and walks past Jack, but its tail damages a nearby building, burying him in the rubble. Godzilla makes landfall and destroys another building near Jack with his atomic breath. Kaori and a limping Mitch find Jack unconscious and injured, but still alive. Once he is conscous again, the group argues over Jack's obsessive willingness to continue chasing the monsters. Suddenly, Godzilla reappears and faces off with the Anguirus.
