Summary:
To Fight Monsters We Created Monsters
When legions of monsters known as Kaiju started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. A weapon was devised to fight the kaiju: Jaegers, massive robots controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless kaiju.
On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes - a washed up former pilot named Raleigh Becket and an untested trainee Mako Mori - who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past.'
Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
