‘Pacific Rim Uprising’ Synopsis Released

astoundingbeyondbelief:

The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly
monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built
to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity
in Pacific Rim Uprising.

John Boyega (Star
Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a
once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to
secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since
abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal
underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to
tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given
one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged
sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation
of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice
for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global
uprising against the forces of extinction.

Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The
Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara
(newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only
family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force
to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new
adventure on a towering scale.
