Predator

John McTiernan directs this sci-fi action feature starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Major Alan ‘Dutch’ Schaefer (Schwarzenegger) and a band of mercenaries head into the Central American Val Verde jungle to rescue some American hostages from a band of guerrilla fighters. However, they soon discover there is also an extraterrestrial evil force at work in the jungle.

The mercenaries are picked off one by one and soon Schaefer is forced to face the alien predator alone.

Critic Reviews:

• " One of the best climaxes I have had the pleasure of seeing on a film of the genre. " – Sergio Benítez

• " Visually, Predator is a full-assault experience. Director John McTiernan mixes his range of shots with fast precision and full-blast effect. " – Duane Byrge

• " Pure action cinema at its most efficient and charmingly unpretentious, Predator remains a lean masterpiece over three decades on. " – Shaun Munro
