It grossed over USD 428 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the visual effects but criticism of its pacing and story. It is the third collaboration between Peyton and Johnson, following Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and San Andreas. Even though their company is uncredited, Rampage also marked the final released Warner Bros film to be financed by Access EntertainmentRatPac-Dune Entertainment as the studio had ended their partnership with the company due to sexual harassment allegations against RatPac- Dune owner Brett Ratner. It was the final project to be produced by RatPac overall before the company went on hiatus, and the final film produced by the studio overall before RatPac went on a hiatus, as the company had ended its partnership with Access Entertainment due to the company’s decision to go on hiatus in the wake of Ratner’s sexual harassment claims. The movie is set in Chicago and follows a group of scientists trying to stop two other mutated animals from destroying the city.
One canister is swallowed by an American crocodile in the Everglades, and another lands in a Wyoming forest where a wolf is exposed to the pathogen. As George grows considerably larger and more aggressive, Davis is contacted by genetic engineer Dr. Kate Caldwell, who explains that the pathogenic was developed by Energyne to rewrite genes on a massive scale. Davis and Kate infiltrate Energyne headquarters at the Willis Tower and take several vials of serum, but are caught by Claire and Brett, who revert the animals to their normal size rather than their enhanced aggressiveness. As the tower topples, Davis-landing a helicopter on Federal Plaza, Davis stays in the city to help George defeat the other monsters, while Russell and Kate rush to prevent the military from deploying a helicopter to stop the monsters from destroying Chicago. George escapes from captivity and goes on a rampage at the preserve, but he is calmed, but George is captured by a government team led by Agent Harvey Russell and put on an airplane. George survives the crash and joins Ralph as they make their way to Chicago. Meanwhile, Claire and her brother Brett oversee a mercenary team’s attempt to capture the mutated wolf, Ralph, which ends in failure and the slaughter of the entire team. Claire, hoping to capture Ralph and use George to kill Kate, uses a massive transmitter atop the Willis tower to lure the animals – engineered to respond aggressively to a certain radio frequency – to Chicago, unconcerned about the massive risk to civilian lives this poses.
