Major Dutch Schaefer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is the leader of a military rescue unit looking for allies captured by guerrillas in the Latin American jungle.
At first, it seems like any other mission, but when Dutch attempts to lead his unit out with a captured guerrilla in tow, something horrifying and inexplicable begins to happen. One by one the men are killed by a mysterious adversary: a Predator from another world.
Stalked by the unseen foe and stripped of his sophisticated weaponry, Schaefer must rely on more than physical strength and modern technology. With the jungle his only ally, he will draw on his inner resources of instinct and intelligence, as he faces his greatest challenge: to stay alive.
