As giant monsters called Kaiju rise from a portal in the Pacific Ocean, humanity unites to fight back by building equally massive robots, Jaegers, controlled by two pilots whose minds are linked. When the Jaeger program is decommissioned, a former pilot and a untested trainee must co-pilot a seemingly obsolete Jaeger to make a last stand for mankind.
