Primatologist Davis Okoye shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.

Rampage is a 2018 American science fiction monster film directed by Brad Peyton, loosely based on the classic Midway arcade game. Dwayne Johnson stars as Davis Okoye, a primatologist at the San Diego Wildlife Sanctuary whose close bond with George, an albino silverback gorilla who communicates through sign language, is shattered when a pathogen from a crashed space station mutates George into a massive, aggressive creature. When two other animals — a wolf and a crocodile — undergo similar transformations and all three converge on Chicago, Davis must find a way to save George and the city.

Rampage was designed as a large-scale monster destruction spectacle, and it delivered on that promise with the three mutated creatures devastating Chicago's skyline in an extended climactic battle. Dwayne Johnson's genuine warmth in his scenes with the CGI George gave the film an emotional anchor. The film earned $428 million worldwide on a $120 million budget.
