To fight the monsters, humanity builds Jaegers —massive humanoid mechs, each controlled by two pilots whose minds are linked in a neural bridge called "The Drift." Pilots must share memories, instincts, and emotions, so they are usually close relatives or partners.
The plot follows Raleigh Becket, a former pilot who returns to the program under Commander Stacker Pentecost to execute a final plan: destroying the Kaiju portal with a nuclear warhead. Technical & Production Highlights pacific rim -2013
