Pacific Rim is a science fiction film set in the 2020s, when Earth is at war with the Kaijus,
colossal monsters which have emerged from an interdimensional portal on the
floor of the Pacific Ocean. To combat the monsters, humanity unites to create 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.
The film is produced by Legendary Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros.
and was released on July 12, 2013 including releases in 3-D and IMAX 3D. It was
released to generally positive reviews; the visual effects and action sequences
were highly praised. The film received average box office returns in the United
States, but was highly successful in other territories, earning more than $404
million worldwide.
