The story begins with a scientific expedition led by Dr. Kawajiri, who embarks on a journey to a remote Pacific island to study the native wildlife and gather scientific data. The team includes Dr. Kurosaki and their children, along with a documentary film crew.
During their expedition, the team discovers a large egg that belongs to a prehistoric creature. They decide to transport the egg back to Japan for further study, believing it could be a significant scientific discovery. However, taking the egg from its natural habitat triggers the wrath of the egg's parents, who are revealed to be giant, bird-like creatures with amphibious capabilities.

The Gappa wreak havoc on Tokyo and its surroundings, causing widespread panic and devastation. The Japanese Self-Defense Forces are mobilized to combat the threat and protect the city.
As the chaos unfolds, the human characters, including the expedition team and the military, must find a way to resolve the situation and ensure the safety of the Gappa offspring.
