Begin unloading!

Careful.

Signature, please.

Easy there.

ENRICHED NUCLEAR FUEL
ASTRONAUTICAL FLIGHT CENTER

Don't jostle it.

Dr. Kato, everything's
proceeding smoothly.

Glad to hear it.

That concludes point nine.

Our calculations show
we'll land on Mars on schedule.

Telemetry information
confirms that conclusion.

Captain Sano.

Our ultimate objective
is to land on Mars.

All previous Mars missions
have failed for unknown reasons.

The cause
may have been UFOs -

unidentified flying objects -
that they encountered.

If that is so,
where are they from?

Mars? Venus?

I'll put it simply:

Your job is to determine
what's stopping us from reaching Mars.

Sadly, many of our best people
died on those missions.

They'll be drifting
through space forever.

Our finest scientific minds have designed
a nuclear-powered spaceship.

But even this ship,
the AAB-Gamma,

may be no shield
from dangers and difficulties.

Please be careful,
and exercise good judgment.

Yes, sir.

Lisa.

As space biologist,

your duty is to collect
any unknown substances,

but only with Captain Sano's
express permission.

Dr. Shioda,

you are to send daily reports
on the crew's blood tests.

Signal Officer Miyamoto.
- Yes, sir?

As a precaution,
transmit your call sign

within two minutes after
the capsule leaves the booster.

The enriched XTU249 nuclear fuel
brought by Dr. Behrman

has been successfully
loaded onto your ship,

which we have nicknamed
the A stro-Boat.

Our Geiger counters
register no radiation on board,

so have no fear
as you carry out your mission.

Dr. Behrman,
anything to add?

Astro-Boat crew,
the launch pad is ready.

One final word:

We have the utmost faith
in our new rocket,

but no matter what happens,
human lives come first.

As scientists,
this is our cardinal rule.

I pray for your success.

- Be careful.
- Thank you.

Astro-Boat crew,
board your vessel.

Lisa, your pulse meter
shows your heart is racing.

I can almost
hear it pounding.

Don't worry.
Yours is pounding even louder.

Miyamoto.

Worry about yourself,
not the others.

Goodness! Why?

On our last mission,

a certain someone
talked up a storm

without first remembering
to turn the mic on.

Did you have to bring that up
in front of the lady?

Some people!

- Initiate final check.
- All hands, commence final check.

- Nuclear fuel gauge.
- Check.

Oxygen pressure gauge.

Check.

Attitude stabilizer.

Check.

Escape velocity gauge.

Check.

Prepare for launch!
All crew in position!

T minus 10 seconds.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Blast off!

Five seconds
to capsule separation.

Release!

Cabin oxygen pressure normal.

Hey!

Lisa!

Sorry about that.

You may now move
about the cabin.

There's no better view
of the Earth.

It's beautiful.

That big green marble
is our home.

Behrman, care for a smoke?

No, thanks.
I'll just have some coffee.

Previous missions couldn't have failed
due to equipment malfunction alone.

Indeed. The cause
must have been the UFOs.

First of all,

radio signals died out immediately
after the objects appeared,

suggesting a magnetic storm
of some kind

that would disable
the ships' guidance systems.

Secondly,

the instrument malfunctions
were consistent

with exposure to cosmic rays.

Are you saying the UFO

unleashed magnetic storms
and radioactive dust?

That's right.

Given current
scientific knowledge,

that's the best
explanation available.

If the object appeared
on a periodic basis,

we could assume
it was orbiting our solar system,

but it appears irregularly,

and only when
our spaceships approach.

We must assume
something is controlling it.

Yes...

but is it being controlled
from Mars,

or is it perhaps
a decoy satellite

being controlled
from somewhere on Earth?

Sano, I've detected
increased radioactivity.

The cosmic ray belt
is especially wide this time.

Doctor, how are
radioactivity levels on board?

I don't think
we need to worry.

AAB-Gamma,
come in, please.

What's that?

It's a UFO:
an unidentified flying object.

A flying saucer, huh?

So that's what's jamming
our transmissions!

Looks like a half-cooked omelet!

It seems to be observing us.

It's matching our speed.

Doctor.

Dr. Shioda!

Doctor!

What's the matter?

Miyamoto, still no luck
with mission control?

Listen for yourself.
I can't make out a word.

All right, speed up!

Everyone buckle up!

Lisa, we're moving in closer.

Sano, we should treat
Dr. Shioda first.

I'm the one
who decides around here.

I'm pleading with you.
The doctor is ill.

Human life comes first.

I know that!

Lisa, the doctor
is a veteran astronaut.

Doctor...

Lisa, I'm a physician.

I know my own body
better than anyone.

Lisa, back in your seat.

AAB-Gamma, this is FAFC.

Come in, over.

FAFC, this is AAB-Gamma.

Come in, over.

The flying saucer

has disappeared
from our radar.

Do not pursue.
You must see to Dr. Shioda.

Make an emergency landing
on our moon base.

When you pick up
the lunar beacon,

switch to Guided Approach Mode.
- Roger.

This is Moon Base MSC.
Come in, AAB-Gamma.

This is Miyamoto
of AAB-Gamma. Go ahead.

Guided Approach Beacon is on.
You are cleared to land.

Lock on to the beacon signal.
Bearing is moon sector N53.

Roger.

Captain, Lisa.
Look, it's Michiko.

Hello there, Michiko.
How are you?

Please advise when you lock on
to the guidance control signal.

This is Moon Base MSC.

- You're on our radar, over.
- Roger.

Michiko, by the way -

She seemed pretty ticked off.

Sano, did something happen
between you two?

AAB-Gamma is coming in too fast,
even for an emergency landing.

They should slow down
or they'll overshoot the target.

Be a dear
and tell them for me.

But that's your -

Fine! I'll call Earth.
They can tell them.

Doctor, here you go.

Wait your turn.
Here you go.

Thanks.

Here.

Thanks!

Prepare for landing.

Close the oxygen valve.

Depressurize the cabin.

Cabin pressure is zero,
equalized with the exterior.

Fasten your seatbelts.

That was a close call.

- Long time no see.
- Thanks for coming.

You haven't changed.

- This is Michiko.
- How do you do?

Delighted to meet you.

Well, then, let's go!

The moon's a nice place.

Yes, much more charming
than I imagined.

- Blood pressure?
- Normal.

My blood pressure and heart rate
were abnormally high,

and I was dying of thirst.

It's space sickness.

Your body couldn't adjust
to the changes in pressure.

You'll be fine with a little rest
in this controlled environment.

But we're leaving for Mars soon.

That's not my decision to make.

Wow, that's big!

So now you're raising
apples on the moon?

Yes.

There's no atmosphere
to block the sunlight,

so they grow huge.

But they're bland
compared to Earth apples.

Beggars can't be choosers!

Michiko, I have
something for you.

Earrings from Germany.

They're gorgeous!

Thank you.

I checked
everyone's belongings.

You snuck those past me.
- I'm sorry.

But I thought Michiko would like them.
It's okay, isn't it?

Isn't it?

At least here we get
a chance to bathe.

I didn't know there was
so much water on the moon.

There's no water on the moon.
It's artificial.

- Same thing.
- No, it's not.

It's synthesized from the oxygen
and hydrogen in moon rocks.

It's not natural.
It's synthetic.

Therefore it's completely pure.

Not polluted,
like some people.

That's a cheap shot.

You jerk! That's hot!

How was your trip?

It was such fun.
Mr. Sano was so nice.

He was?

Then there's nothing to worry about
on the trip to Mars.

That's right.
I'd follow Sano anywhere,

no matter how long
or hard the journey.

This is groovy!

I can't believe
we're on the moon.

But this is no place
to settle down.

Man's place is on Earth.

You complain wherever you are,
don't you, Dr. Stein?

Of course.

If humanity grows complacent,
it's finished.

Please sit down.

What'll it be?
- Cognac.

- Me too.
- All right.

Earth needs to send
a replacement for Dr. Shioda.

That's for FAFC to decide.

Orders from FAFC:

Dr. Shioda will be replaced
by Dr. Stein.

It's not my job
to go all the way to Mars!

But you're the one

who declared me
physically unfit for space travel.

- That has nothing to do with this.
- Dr. Stein.

Our job is to follow
FAFC's orders.

May I have this dance?

Lisa, good night.

How about dancing with me?

Okay.

I don't care if it's an order.

Mars?
Are they kidding?

I should be back on Earth
with my wife.

Come on, cheer up.

- Take care of yourself.
- I should say the same.

- Look after him.
- Bye.

Our data suggest
there are many aliens and asteroids

between here and Mars,
so be careful.

Understood.

- Take care of yourselves.
- Thanks.

Bye, Michiko.
- Good-bye.

Hey, Miyamoto!

Leaving already?

See you guys later!

Take care!

Finally.

- Here.
- Thanks.

Again?

The same
space rations every day.

Dr. Stein, you can't be picky
on a spaceship.

You could at least
vary the menu a bit.

I'm a scientist, not a cook.

Excuse me!

If Dr. Shioda
hadn't suddenly fallen ill,

I'd be on Earth now, eating
tasty food with my beloved wife.

Am I right?

Why did this
have to happen to me?

What did I do
to deserve this?

Muzzle it!

- At least let me talk.
- Quiet!

You hear that?

Asteroids!

Small asteroids
are hitting the ship.

Keep calm!

Full speed ahead in the same
direction as the asteroids.

Tell mission control
we're changing course.

Helmets on!

- Lisa, close your helmet!
- I can't!

Lisa, are you okay?

Stein, close the oxygen valve!

Miyamoto, I can't do it.
Help!

- Doctor!
- Miyamoto!

Something's definitely wrong.

Sir, there's a call
from the moon base.

We've lost contact with AAB-Gamma.
What about you?

Still no reply.

Radar shows them far off course.
There's also heavy radio interference.

Keep tracking them.
Advise if you make contact.

Roger.

They'll soon enter the region where
past missions met their untimely ends.

I hope nothing happens.

If it does,
we can only assume

some unknown power is blocking
our entry into Martian airspace.

Repairs are complete.
Miyamoto, main lights on.

Sano.

It's back!

Quick, let's get away!

All right.

I'm speeding up!

We're being pulled in.

Why'd you cut the engine?
They'll pull us in even faster.

It's a waste of fuel.

We won't have enough
to get back.

Don't stop the engine.
We have to get away!

It's hopeless.

Their tractor beam is too strong.

Better to watch and wait
than waste our fuel.

That's suicide! That's how
previous ships were destroyed!

I'm gonna throttle it!
- Stein, don't!

Stein, don't!

Stein, stop it!

- I'm going home to Earth!
- Stop it!

Something's definitely wrong.
Please send a rescue rocket.

I'll go.

But what if we
send a rescue rocket

and it winds up
like the A stro-Boat?

I won't let any more lives
be sacrificed.

Sacrificed?

Captain Sano, sacrificed?

Doctor Stein, please read
the nuclear fuel gauge.

Yes, sir.

- Lisa, check the main thrusters.
- Yes, sir.

Sano, energy output
has dropped more than half.

How can that be?

Miyamoto, still no luck with the radio?
- Give me a bit longer.

Sano, come here!

What's that?

Sano, please don't!

It's dangerous out there.

Sano, she's right.

Wait until we know
what's going on.

- I'm going too.
- You fix the radio and contact base.

- I'm going with you.
- No.

I'm going.

Lisa, are you sure?

I can at least try.

FAFC, this is AAB-Gamma.
Come in!

- Good work.
- What was it?

FAFC, this is AAB-Gamma.

AAB-Gamma, come in please.

The flying saucer emitted
clouds of vapor in our direction

and then flew towards Mars.

The reactor is only at half power.

For some reason we can't accelerate,
even at full thrust.

We're in possession
of a mysterious luminous object.

Our navigational instruments
are disabled.

We cannot determine
our present position.

How's the crew?

Lisa, Miyamoto, Stein, and Sano
are all unharmed.

The UFO's powerful
magnetic field and radiation

seem responsible
for your ship's condition.

Remain as you are

and wait for the rescue rocket.

Keep the luminous object
in a sealed vacuum container.

Roger.

Moon Base MSC, come in.

This is Moon Base MSC.

It's Michiko!

Launch a rescue rocket
with replacement XTU fuel immediately.

Follow our designated flight path.

Roger.

Now I'll finally see my wife.

- And I'll get to eat Earth food.
- Let's wait for that rocket.

Doctor...

that luminous object they found -
what could it be?

Any ideas?

None whatsoever.

I've never seen accounts
of such a thing.

Surely it came from the UFO.

That's very possible.

Michiko!

Lisa! Thank goodness!

Thanks for coming.

Now let's replace that fuel.

Since it was collected in a vacuum,
it must be observed in one.

That's probably best.
After all, we know nothing about it.

But our observations won't be complete
unless we expose it to our atmosphere.

Hey, research is fun and all,
but you gotta rest sometime.

He's right.
Let's call it a day.

Let's have a party at my house
to celebrate your safe return.

Good idea.

I expected a cold reception
after we failed to land on Mars.

Not at all.

This object in itself
is a gift to science.

Let's go.

You were in a lot of danger.
I'm glad I fell ill.

Dr. Shioda,
I'll follow your example

and come down
with space sickness too!

Dr. Kato!

The Center's research laboratory
is calling.

Kato speaking.

What?
The lab was ransacked?

And the alien object?

The container and table were wrecked,
and there's a hole in the floor.

I'll be right there.

Doctor, what happened?

I'm going too.

It burned its way through.

It takes a lot of heat
to burn through such material.

Laser rays.

Quite possibly.

At least we still have
the rock's insulating material.

Who knows when we'd find
another such specimen.

That's right.
Give me the tongs.

Put it in here.

Sir.

That's a strange indentation.

Looks just like
a chicken's claw print.

That means the luminous rock
burned through the iron table,

then through the floor,
and entered the earth.

An extraterrestrial
may have been hiding inside.

Assuming that's the case,

where did it go
after going into that hole?

Voltage is plummeting.
Any problems with the generators?

None at all?

That's odd.
That just can't be.

How about a nightcap
at the bar?

Sounds good.
What do you all say?

- What's going on?
- That's strange.

What's up?

I'm sorry. We've been having
blackouts the past few days.

We'll check on it right away.

What's wrong?

Captain Sano, what's that?

See? Beyond that hill.

Let's get out of here!

Look! What's that?

It's just like
the claw print in the lab.

You're right.

Let's get back.

Come on.

On the right is the print
left in our laboratory.

On the left is the print
left by the monster on Hakone.

Our analysis suggests
these two are one and the same.

The monster is now on a rampage,
headed for Tokyo.

It must not enter Tokyo!

We doubt whether
our present arsenal

can actually stop this monster.

Dr. Kato, isn't there
a scientific solution?

Not at the moment,
unfortunately.

This is the material
cast off by the alien.

And this is the substance
that clung to our rocket engine.

Our analysis clearly shows

the two are identical
in chemical composition.

This substance may therefore
contain the secret

to combating this "Guilala."

"Guilala" is what we've decided
to name the monster.

Space monster Guilala.

200 FEET TALL
AND WEIGHING 15,000 TONS

CAN THE COSMIC SUBSTANCE
SUBDUE GUILALA?

THE WORLD ANXIOUSLY AWAITS
ANALYSIS OF THE SPORES.

Lisa, how does it look?

Discover anything yet?

The function of the substance
is still a mystery.

It seems to have been formed
within a supernova.

The vacuum of space
made it condense rapidly

and take on a complex
organic molecular structure,

forming Guilala
and his luminous shell.

If the substance can reflect and contain
such enormous amounts of energy,

then Guilala's shell
must be able to do the same.

If we want to synthesize
the substance,

we have to do it
in a complete vacuum -

the surface of the moon,
for example.

I see.

Lisa, you must go to the moon.

We should hurry.

Guilala's wreaking havoc across Japan.
This substance just may stop him.

Captain.

If you're going, so am I.

Me too.

Alert! Defense personnel
assemble immediately.

- How's it look up there?
- Ginza and Shinjuku were wiped out.

Report from Sector One.

Good.

What's the latest?

- Tatebayashi's been destroyed.
- And the monster's condition?

Guilala's dorsal fin
is glowing less brightly.

He must be losing energy.

- He's used most of it up.
- Looks that way.

This is our chance to kill him.

But if he's hungry, he might
become even more destructive.

This is FAFC.

Lisa, how are the experiments
with the guilalanium?

We were able to synthesize it
here on the moon.

We've also discovered
ample guilalanium in the lunar ore.

What are its attributes?

It can reflect
all types of cosmic rays,

including intense heat energy.

Roger.
Bring us a large quantity, and fast.

Roger.

If we smother Guilala
with guilalanium,

he will cease absorbing energy
and probably weaken.

Would you agree?

Indeed.

Some suggest we use the bomb
on Guilala, but our allies have cold feet.

America in particular doesn't want
to drop another A-bomb on Japan.

I share that sentiment.

FAFC, this is AAB-Gamma.

Come in, please.

We're returning
with the guilalanium on board.

Still no contact?

The radio's working,
but something's jamming the signal.

It's that darn
flying saucer again!

No, it's not.

This is odd.

They're out of
the flying saucer's range.

It's impossible to know
when they'll arrive.

We must stop Guilala
as soon as possible.

Must be an electronic malfunction.
Lisa, check the computer.

Yes, sir.

Sano! I've got it.

This is the cause right here.

Bring me that.

Roger.

Northwest Tochigi prefecture.

Command Center here.

Commander, phone call.

Commanding officer speaking.

So you don't know
when the guilalanium will arrive?

We're unable to track
AAB-Gamma's current position.

The monster's growing more violent.

He's heading north to northern Kanto,
near Lake Inawashiro.

The damage
continues to mount.

We can only have faith
in Captain Sano

and pray they return quickly.

What do we do now?

I don't know.

We may wind up
orbiting the sun forever.

Or the Earth may pull us
into its orbit.

Wouldn't that help our chances?

It'd take years for Earth
to pull us in that close.

Can't we lessen
the guilalanium's reflectivity?

We'd have to find
some kind of shield

and place it inside that.

But how?

What about
the nuclear reactor?

It has thick walls
built to seal in radioactivity.

That's a good idea.

But a dangerous one.

The guilalanium could cause
the reactor to overheat:

It could explode in an instant.

Are you prepared
to take that chance?

What if it's the only way?

Let's do it!

All right.

After destroying
Inawashiro Dam,

Guilala is now heading
for the Pacific coast.

Commander, it's from FAFC.

What?

It destroyed the Atomic Research Center
and power plant?

It absorbed all the atomic energy
and is stronger than ever?

It's turned into a ball of energy,
bouncing from place to place.

It bounced
from Matsudo to Tokyo

and is now headed west.

What?
Guilala's headed this way?

Isn't the A stro-Boat back yet?

We could really use
that guilalanium right now.

I'm sure Sano and his crew
are doing their best.

Guilala's surely looking
for more energy.

Then there's a good chance
he's coming this way.

You're right.

We just completed the storage unit
for your XTU nuclear fuel.

Sir, we've made contact
with AAB-Gamma.

AAB-Gamma,
we're defenseless against Guilala.

We eagerly await your return.

Please deliver the guilalanium
as soon as possible.

Roger.

We're heading directly...

AAB-Gamma, come in.

This is FAFC.

It's back!

Damn it!

Persistent creeps!

What a nuisance!
We can't let them delay us.

We have to deliver
this guilalanium fast.

Full power ahead.
Everyone buckle up.

Watch out!

Damn it!
It's coming back!

Dr. Kato,
Guilala is approaching FAFC.

You're in danger.

We can't wait for the A stro-Boat.

Prepare to evacuate.

Very well.

But I can't leave
until the A stro-Boat returns.

I understand.

But Guilala will surely
destroy FAFC before then.

Attention:

All personnel except A stro-Boat
landing crew, evacuate immediately.

Guilala is coming this way.

Dr. Kato,
it's from the A stro-Boat.

This is AAB-Gamma.
Come in, FAFC.

This is FAFC, over.

We've evaded the UFO
and are now commencing reentry.

The A stro-Boat's returned?

Yes, all planes are ready to scramble.
Get the guilalanium here pronto!

Let's evacuate.
Guilala is coming for the XTU.

But if he consumes it,
he can do even more damage.

Let's get it out of here.

- Can you do it?
- We can try.

All right.

Hurry up!

Captain Sano!

What is it?

- It's Lisa!
- What happened?

The lab exploded.
She's stuck under debris.

What?

What was she doing there?

She went back
for some research data.

Let's go! Take this.

Help me!

What happened?

My legs!

I can't pull my legs out!

- Use that beam!
- Where?

She's pinned!

Are you all right?

The other side.

Add another beam.

Find another one!

Damn it!
It's coming this way!

He's always drawn to energy.

Dr. Behrman, let's use the fuel as bait
to lure Guilala away from the lab.

That's a risky gambit.

Miyamoto, let's go!

Left. Stop.

Man, it's really gotten huge!

Hurry!

Go!

Miyamoto, you okay?

Floor it!

Faster!

Faster!

- Okay, we can get out.
- Hurry.

Lisa, quick.

Careful.

Are you all right?

Everyone in?

Captain Sano
and Signal Officer Miyamoto

risked their lives
to lead Guilala away from FAFC.

But the monster has absorbed
the enriched nuclear fuel

and is returning to FAFC
in search of more energy.

Our last hope
for stopping Guilala

rests in your courage
and unexcelled airmanship.

You must quickly spray
the monster with guilalanium,

thus blocking its ability
to absorb energy.

Eighth Fighter Squadron,
loaded with guilalanium!

Very good.
Launch your attack!

Yes, sir.
Present arms!

Ground Chief.

Load the remaining squadrons
with guilalanium.

Yes, sir.

- Are you okay?
- Damn! I think I sprained my ankle.

We're coming!

It's too dangerous
for you here!

Try to bear with it.

See what you can do for him.

Are you all right?
Give me a handkerchief.

Hasn't the air force
launched yet?

Hasn't it?

They're coming!

No effect yet.

Be patient, Doctor.

Sir!

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

In the car, quick.

Look!

Guilala's dying.

He's shrinking.

Lisa, please step away.

- May I have the container?
- Give it here.

Guilala can't be destroyed
here on Earth.

If he manages to slough off
the guilalanium,

he could reemerge
as strong as before.

We have to get rid
of him somehow.

Let's send it back into space.

Back where it came from.

Three... two... one...

blast off!

Have you told Sano
how you really feel?

Love takes courage.

Yes.

You're right.

Guilala taught me
an important lesson.

Thanks to him, I now realize...

that there's somebody else

who loves Sano with all her heart.

You know...

I wonder where Guilala is going.

Someplace many billions
of light-years away.

He'll wander
through space forever.

Captain Sano?

Never mind.
