Godzilla vs Mothra (ゴジラvsモスラ - Gojira tai Mosura in Japanese, released as Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth in the U.S.) is a 1992 daikaiju eiga. Fourth in Toho Studios' VS Series of Godzilla films, it was directed by Takao Okawara from a screenplay by Kazuki Omori with special effects by Koichi Kawakita.
In the beginning of the world the dominent species were the shobijin, but they polluted the planet so the monster Battra was destroyed, a replica of the shobijin's Mothra. After destroying their race Battra went into hibernation so that he could destroy an asteroid that would strike earth in 10,000 years. But the monster is awoken early when a new race of creatures begins polluting the planet. On a far off island a large egg is unearthed in a storm. A pair of Shobijin who survived Battra's attack warned the humans that the egg belonged to Mothra and that she would attack them if they did not return it. But the humans did not listen and so Mothra took matters into her own hands. With Godzilla erupting from a volcano the three monsters began a vicious melee, which ended with the adult Mothra being killed. But the larvae Mothra who hatched from the egg transformed into her adult to fight Godzilla. Joining forces with Battra, who had also transformed to it's adult stage, the two insects managed to defeat and trap Godzilla underwater. However Battra was severely injured during the fight by Godzilla and died shortly afterwards. Mothra then left into space to take Battra's place and destroy the asteroid heading for earth.
