Ten years after Stacker Pentecost helped win the war against the Kaiju and seal the Breach, his son Jake (John Boyega) becomes an instructor to a new team of cadets for piloting Jaegers. He is helped by his former co-pilot Nate Lambert (Scott Eastwood), and he befriends young cadet and Jaeger fanatic Amara (Cailee Spaeny).

A tech company, Shao Corporations, wants to launch a drone program that could threaten the Jaegers. After Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) is killed during an attack from a rogue Jaeger that was operated by a Kaiju brain, the drones are authorized. When they are launched, they are taken over by Kaiju brains, which was the plan of Newt Geiszler (Charlie Day), who has been corrupted by Precursors (the ones who created the Kaiju) after drifting with the Kaiju brains for so long. The Kaiju drones open Breaches, unleashing three Kaiju into the world that plan to head to Mt. Fuji so that their blood will mix with the earth elements in the volcano to effectively destroy the world.

Jake, Nate, Amara, and the other cadets ride the Jaegers into Japan to fight the Kaiju, who are merged by Newt to create a powerful Mega-Kaiju. It heads toward the volcano, but Jake and Amara pilot Gipsy Avenger to send it hurtling toward the Mega-Kaiju, killing it.

Newt is taken into custody and vows revenge for himself and the Precursors, but Jake promises that humanity will be ready to fight back.
