Pacific Rim 2013

Pacific Rim

Released: 2013

Storyline:

 In 2013, massive alien monsters called Kaiju emerged from an interdimensional portal at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean called "the Breach" and attacked coastal cities. In response, humanity builds massive mecha called Jaegers; each is co-piloted by two or more people who share the mental stress of piloting the machine through a mental link called "the Drift".

In 2020, brothers Yancy and Raleigh Becket pilot the Jaeger Gipsy Danger to defend Anchorage from a Category-3 Kaiju, Knifehead. The Kaiju severely damages Gipsy, leading to Yancy's death. Raleigh kills Knifehead and pilots Gipsy to shore alone before collapsing. Traumatized by his brother's loss and the stress of solo-piloting the Jaeger, he quits the program.
