Description:

Yosei Gorasu - A runaway star named Gorath is on a collision course with Earth in the then-future decade of the 1980s.

Even though it's smaller than Earth, Gorath has a mass 6,000 times larger than Earth, and will destroy our planet upon impact. Now, as massive earthquakes and tsunamis crush Tokyo and kill millions, and as volcanic eruptions devastate entire areas around the globe, the people of planet Earth have to find a way to move the earth out of orbit before the star smashes it.

As Gorath approaches, several enormous rocket boosters are constructed in Antarctica and other parts of the world to push Earth out of the runaway star's path. The heat from the rockets has an unexpected consequence: releasing the monster Maguma from the polar ice. As the monster ravages the South Pole base, the plan to evade Gorath is imperiled. (Maguma's role was completely removed from the U.S. release of the film).
