Gorgo is a 1961 British-Irish[1] science fiction monster film directed by Eugène Lourié and starring Bill Travers and William Sylvester. The story of Gorgo is about a ship's captain and his pearl diving crew who, with other fishermen on an island and an orphaned boy, discover and capture a gigantic amphibious sea creature and take it to London for public exhibition. It results in the creature's much larger mother invading London in search of her offspring, causing catastrophic destruction across the city.
