The Predator (2018) is a sci-fi action film directed by Shane Black. The movie follows a group of misfit soldiers and a scientist as they battle a dangerous and advanced alien predator that lands on Earth. The story kicks off when a soldier named Quinn McKenna (played by Boyd Holbrook) encounters the Predator during a mission and manages to send its equipment to his home. His son, Rory (Jacob Tremblay), unknowingly activates the gear, leading the alien to track them down. McKenna teams up with a ragtag group of soldiers and a biologist, Casey Bracket (Olivia Munn), to stop the alien threat.

As the group faces off against the Predator, they learn that this creature is far more intelligent and deadly than they imagined. The Predator is hunting humans to harvest their DNA and is upgrading itself to become an even stronger being. The film mixes brutal action with humor and includes themes of human survival, genetic evolution, and the unexpected bonds that form under pressure. Despite mixed reviews, the film offers a fresh take on the classic Predator franchise.
