When the aliens known as Kaiju invade Earth again, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) recruits her estranged brother Jake (John Boyega), son of fallen hero Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba), to lead a new international team of Jaeger robot pilots. Aided by Dr. Hermann Gottlieb (Burn Gorman) and Dr. Newton Geiszler (Charlie Day), the young pilots must combat bigger, more advanced monsters to save the world. Director Steven S. DeKnight takes the reins from Guillermo del Toro for this sequel to 2013’s Pacific Rim.
