A giant mutant octopus from the Mindinao Deep attacks ships, an atomic submarine, and San Francisco. Stop-motion work by Ray Harryhausen makes this a classic of the genre. Because of budget considerations, the octopus had six and not eight tentacles, and diesel submarine USS Cubera SS-147 plays the role of the atomic submarine.
