The Predator is a 2018 science fiction action film directed by Shane Black and is part of the larger Predator franchise. The film stars Boyd Holbrook as Quinn McKenna, a former Marine sniper, who comes into possession of Predator technology while on a mission in Mexico. However, after sending some of the alien technology back to the United States, McKenna accidentally triggers the return of the Predators to Earth.
As the Predators begin to wreak havoc on the planet and hunt down humans for sport, McKenna teams up with a group of amputee soldiers suffering from PTSD to protect his son and prevent the annihilation of the human race. Along the way, they are joined by a brilliant but disgruntled evolutionary biologist, Casey Bracket (played by Olivia Munn), who is willing to risk everything to understand and defeat the Predators.
As the situation becomes more dire, the team finds themselves facing off against a new, advanced breed of Predator that is even more deadly than any they've encountered before. With time running out and the survival of humanity at stake, the ragtag group of soldiers and scientists must unite and use their skills and resources to stop the Predators before it's too late.
The Predator received mixed reviews upon its release, with some praising the film's action and humor, while others criticized its lack of originality and weak plot. Despite this, the movie still managed to gross over $160 million worldwide at the box office.
