Summary of Furankenshutain tai chitei kaijû Baragon
From the director of the original GODZILLA comes FRANKENSTEIN VS BARAGON (or as it's also known in cult-movie circles, FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD). In 1945, a human heart in a Japanese lab is exposed to the intense radiation from the atomic bomb, causing the heart to grow into a full body. The result is a wild child, complete with the iconic flat-top head that earns him the name "Frankenstein." The boy grows to giant proportions, and he is invincible against attacks from the authorities. But when a giant reptile wreaks havoc, only Frankenstein can match him in a fight. This sci-fi film from 1965 blends Japanese monster movies with the tradition of Mary Shelley's classic character.
