When Pacific Rim crashed into theaters on July 12, 2013, the cinematic landscape was dominated by gritty reboots, superhero team-ups, and dystopian teen sagas.

By 2025 (the film’s primary setting), the Jaeger program is failing. The Kaiju are evolving faster than the mechs can be built. The film follows (Charlie Hunnam), a disillusioned former pilot who lost his brother (and co-pilot) in battle. He is pulled back into service by Marshal Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) to pilot the obsolete Jaeger Gipsy Danger alongside the untested Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi).

In response, humanity unites under the Pan-Pacific Defense Corps (PPDC) to build the Jaegers (German for “hunters”): towering, nuclear-powered humanoid mechs piloted by two individuals linked via a neural handshake called the Drift.
