Befehl aus dem Dunkel

You rocket to Planet X alongside a buddy, meeting strange humanoids who need help with a rampaging space monster. In exchange for Godzilla and Rodan, they offer humanity a miracle cure but something feels off. Honda's direction elevates the monster fights. It's a fun, if strange, cold war allegory.
