Presented by Guillermo del Toro and written by Travis Beacham, Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero serves as a prequel to Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ Pacific Rim.

Journalist Naomi Sokolov visits the Anchorage Shatterdome to interview Pan Pacific Defense Corps officers for a retrospective piece she’s writing about humanity’s battle against the Kaiju.

When she arrives, she meets Tendo Choi who reflects on his experiences during “K-Day” (August 10, 2013), the day of the first Kaiju attack in San Francisco. When the Kaiju Trespasser attacked he and his dock workers helped civilians onto boats to protect them from the monstrous beast. Choi then tells the reporter about his grandfather Yeye, who he managed to successfully rescue from Chinatown before Trespasser smashed it into oblivion.
