French nuclear tests irradiate an iguana into a giant monster that viciously attacks freighter ships in the Pacific Ocean. A team of experts, including Niko Tatopoulos, conclude that the oversized reptile is the culprit. Before long, the giant lizard is loose in Manhattan as the US military races to destroy the monster before it reproduces and it's spawn takes over the world.
This is spectacle-driven dread rather than creeping horror u2014a creature loose in a rain-drenched Manhattan, dwarfing everything you thought was solid. The fear here is scale and helplessness: the sense that no shelter is large enough, no weapon certain. Tension spikes in tighter, darker corridors where something smaller and hungrier hunts you at eye level.
