Here is the official synopsis for Godzilla: the king of monsters:

The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological Monarch agency as its members confront a battery of monsters at God's height, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan and his ultimate enemy , the three-headed king.
