Details
Movie Description
Sent to eliminate a gun-running camp in Central America, United States Major Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and his commandos get more than they bargained for when they cross paths with a mysterious assassin. As members of their unit begin to disappear, Dutch, Dillon (Carl Weathers), and Blain (Jesse Ventura) conclude that whatever is hunting them is not of this earth. Every attempt at a tactical defense is a defeated for Dutch and company and it is only in the last stretch of their race to safety that their suspicions are confirmed and they encounter the alien nimrod face to face.
A summer box office smash, 1987's PREDATOR re-ignited an old trend of movies depicting aliens invading earth that began decades earlier with films like WAR OF THE WORLDS and INVADERS FROM MARS. McTiernan does a miraculous job of directing the "invisible" Predator. Furthermore, the special effects, which are stunningly subtle and never boisterous, make PREDATOR a strikingly contemporary sci-fi effort even amid today's techno-thrillers.
Synopsis
Recruited by the CIA to rescue hostages held by guerrilla fighters in a Central American jungle, Dutch and his hardcase troops encounter an enemy more deadly than any creature on earth--because it isn't from earth.
Film Notes
Shot on location in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, and Palenque Chapas, Mexico.
The film is dedicated to the memories of Agustin Ytuarte and Federico Ysunza.
Jesse "the Body" Ventura went on to become the governor of Minnesota.
