Jaeger’s adventure is back in the Pacific Rim sequel. The existence of Kaiju (giant animals that are enemies of Jaeger) still threatens the earth and humanity. In the Pacific Rim: Uprising series, the director’s chair is no longer carried by Guillermo del Toro, but Steven S. DeKnight.
For the script, it was written by Emily Carmichael, Kira Snyder, and TS Nowlin. In this edition, the responsibility for saving the earth is taken over by Jake Pentecost (John Boyega). He is the son of the head of the Jaeger program, Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) who was killed in the first series.
Synopsis Pacific Rim: Uprising
Jake is told as a stubborn child and caught in the world of crime. However, when the threat to the earth comes in front of his eyes, he is required to join the Jaeger forces to drive out the Kaiju.
Jake, on an earth rescue mission, is not alone. He is accompanied by his sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi), talented pilot Jaeger and rival, Lambert (Scott Eastwood), and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (Cailee Spaeny). They work together to fight Kaiju.
