Pacific Rim is a 2013 American science fiction monster film about humanity's battle against colossal sea monsters called Kaiju. To combat the threat, humans create Jaegers, gigantic humanoid mechas controlled by two co-pilots linked mentally. The story follows a retired Jaeger pilot, Raleigh Becket, teamed with a rookie pilot, Mako Mori, in a last-ditch effort to defeat the Kaiju.

Pacific Rim Uprising is set a decade after the Battle of the Breach and follows the evolution of the Jaeger program into a formidable global defense force against the Kaiju threat. The film focuses on the Pan Pacific Defense Corps (PPDC), which recruits and trains the next generation of pilots to handle the returning Kaiju menace and protect humanity.
