The film compliments the Japanese “kaiju” (giant monsters) sub-genre, made popular by iconic franchises like Godzilla. Having appeared from a dimensional portal deep within the Pacific Ocean, humanity fights back with giant robots called Jaegers. The robots are manned by two mind-linked pilots but at the center of this tale we find an odd-pair of pilots – a damaged veteran Raleigh Antrobus (Charlie Hunnam) and a novice Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) – who must lead the fate of the planet with their obsolete Jaeger.

Official Synopsis:
When legions of 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.
