Pacific Rim Movie Story
In 2013, massive alien creatures known as Kaiju begin emerging from an interdimensional rift called the “Breach” at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, attacking coastal cities. In response, humanity constructs giant mechs called Jaegers, which are piloted by two or more individuals connected through a mental link called “Drifting” to share the intense neural load of controlling the machines. By 2020, brothers Yancy and Raleigh Becket pilot the American Jaeger, Gipsy Danger, to defend Anchorage from a Category-3 Kaiju known as Knifehead. During the battle, Knifehead severely damages Gipsy, killing Yancy. Raleigh, devastated by his brother’s death, manages to kill Knifehead and pilot Gipsy solo back to shore before collapsing. Traumatized by the experience, Raleigh leaves the Jaeger program.
Five years later, as Kaiju attacks become more frequent and Jaegers are being destroyed faster than they can be built, world leaders decide to discontinue the Jaeger program in favor of constructing coastal defense walls. However, the walls prove ineffective against Kaiju. The remaining Jaegers are relocated to Hong Kong, where Marshal Stacker Pentecost leads a plan to destroy the Breach with a tactical nuclear strike, despite previous failed attempts. Raleigh, now working on wall construction, is recruited by Pentecost to join the mission. At the Hong Kong base, known as the Shatterdome, Raleigh meets Mako Mori, the head of Jaeger restoration. Only four Jaegers remain operational: the refurbished Gipsy Danger, the Russian Cherno Alpha, the Chinese Crimson Typhoon, and the Australian Striker Eureka, piloted by father-and-son duo Herc and Chuck Hansen. In search of a new co-pilot, Raleigh participates in Drift compatibility trials and discovers that he and Mako are a perfect match. During their first test in Gipsy Danger, Mako loses control while reliving the traumatic memory of a Kaiju attack on Tokyo by the monster Onibaba, nearly causing Gipsy to fire its energy cannon inside the base. Pentecost grounds Mako as a result. When Raleigh confronts him, Pentecost reveals that he adopted Mako after her parents were killed during the Tokyo attack.
