Director:
Guillermo del ToroStoryline
When monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a
war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's
resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of
weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are
controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a
neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in
the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces
defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes - a
washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko
Kikuchi) - who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete
Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope
against the mounting apocalypse. Written by
