During an excursion to research an unusual butterfly in the mountains of northeastern Japan, two explorers are mysteriously killed. The natives of the island blame the deaths on their God "Varan" who becomes enraged at the sight of humans. A second group of researchers, not heeding the natives' warning, rouse the gigantic angry beast and evoke the destruction of the native village. The Self-Defense force launches a counterattack; battleships, tanks, and high-powered explosives, deployed to halt the spiney-backed, flying creature as it heads for the ultimate stomping ground -- TOKYO.

In the picture, it is very clear that there are two approaches. The Japanese one in how the monster is animated, and the American one in how boring and cliché the story around the American officer is. Unfortunately, the film lacks quality due to poor image. It's a bit of a shame that it's in black and white, which is a step back compared to films like "Sora no daikaijû Radon". Color suits newer monsters better. "Varan the Unbelievable" is too similar to "Awakening of the Destruction".
