About the m
ovie:

Predator is a combination of the elements of action, science fiction, and horror. It was directed by John McTiernan and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Elpidia Carrillo, Bill Duke, Jesse Ventura, and Kevin Peter Hall. It was released in 1987 by 20th Century Fox.

The Pred
ator is an alien humanoid creature that is fond of hunting and is capable of interstellar traveling and has multiple visions and is armored by a light-bending suit with advanced weapons. It descended on Earth, specifically in Central America, to hunt for humans. However, the US Army Special Forces unit led by Major Dutch Schaefer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is also in the same location to rescue a cabinet minister in the hands of a rebel group. But the members of the military unit are beginning to disappear and they still don't have the idea that another enemy is attacking them - the Predator. Until they finally encounter the extraterrestrial creature and find out that it is powerful enough that their weapons are no match with this alien assassin.

This
action-packed movie maintains a feeling of fear and tension all throughout with gun-fighting, explosions, and the hair-raising sight of the Predator.

After the suc
cess of the Predator movie (and the character as well), having a gross revenue of $60,000,000 in the United States, sequels of this movie have been made. These are Predator 2 (1990) and Alien vs. Predator (2004).
