Expo ’70 in Osaka is under attack by bizarre monsters from the year 2025. To save the past and future, the Cosmic Battle Guard depends on the giant superhero Taroman. Director Ryo FUJII affectionately brings artist Taro OKAMOTO’s iconic Expo ’70 sculpture “Tower of the Sun” to life in a gaudy trash spectacle brimming with retro special effects.
