From
acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo
del Toro comes the sci-fi action
adventure
“Warner Bros. Pictures and
Legendary Pictures
"Pacific Rim.”
When
legions of monstrous alien 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.
